White Wood Aster

White Wood Aster – Eurybia (Aster) divaricata – is an herbaceous perennial found in the eastern U.S. This plant, with lush green foliage and dark stems, is hard to beat in summer. Then, in the late summer, one tiny white bloom will appear, then two more, until it is covered with white blooms that last for more than a month. Like many asters, it blooms when few other plants do and is invaluable as pollinator forage and for people who enjoy the blooms. Remember this, and never plant a garden without some asters!
