Aster divaricatus - 2 Gallon

Aster divaricatus is a low mounding perennial with heart shaped or oval leaves. In late summer starry white daisies cover the plant and gleam in the shade. Plants are tough and adaptable prospering in part shade or shade and in dry or moist soils.

Flat topped branched flower clusters appear from late summer until mid-fall.  The fragrant flower heads are composed of a ring of white petal-like ray flowers surrounding a central cluster of yellow or rose colored disc flowers.  Flower heads are produced in profusion and are frequented by bees and butterflies.

Plants grow 2-3’ tall with 2-4’ spread.

The great advantage that Aster divaricatus offers is the ability to grow and flower in dry shade.  Flowering and form are best, however, in partly shaded sites where plants have 3 hours or so of sun.
