Asters — White wood-aster (Eurybia divaricata) Plants
This late summer to early fall blooming woodland aster makes a handsome landscape plant. Dark green, heart-shaped leaves with deeply toothed edges make a low tidy clump from spring to mid-summer. In August, dark flowering stems emerge and open to clusters of small white flowers with yellow centers. Attracting butterflies and bees, the yellow centers turn red as the flowers are pollinated. This aster is a charming, low maintenance landscape plant for shady gardens.
