Interesting Notes
A late-summer hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains helped me appreciate and see this beautiful native Aster in a new light. I was amazed to find it blooming happily and robustly in the shade! This 2' softly sprawling Aster provides a delicate carpet of snowflakes in fall that combines naturally with gingers, mosses, partridgeberry and ferns. The small but numerous flowers have white single petals with yellow centers. The flowers fade to subtle burgundy and rose-pink that are equally attractive. Black, twiggy stems provide a strong contrast to white flowers and are quite showy as well. A must in the woodland garden! Native. Niche Garde
