Product Description

Add subtle beauty and delicate charm to your shaded garden with Aster divaricatus, commonly known as White Wood Aster. This native perennial is loved for its airy clusters of small, daisy-like white flowers with yellow centers that bloom in late summer to fall. Its graceful, arching stems and heart-shaped, dark green leaves make it an excellent groundcover for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalized landscapes. White Wood Aster is a low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly plant that thrives in challenging, low-light areas.

Why Choose White Wood Aster?

  • Elegant White Blooms: Produces masses of small, daisy-like white flowers that brighten shady areas in late summer and fall.
  • Pollinator Friendly: Attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, providing vital late-season nectar.
  • Shade-Tolerant: Thrives in partial to full shade, making it perfect for woodland gardens and shaded borders.
  • Low Maintenance: Adapts to a variety of soils and requires minimal care, even in less-than-ideal conditions.

Cultivation Tips

  • Sunlight Needs: Prefers partial to full shade but can tolerate some morning sun.
  • Soil Preferences: Thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soils but is adaptable to dry, rocky, or less fertile soils.
  • Watering Requirements: Water regularly during establishment; afterward, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal supplemental watering.
  • Spacing: Plant 12-18 inches apart to allow for its spreading habit and to create a lush, natural groundcover.

Design Ideas for Your Garden

White Wood Aster is perfect for adding texture and late-season color to woodland gardens, shaded borders, or naturalized landscapes. Pair it with shade-loving perennials like Ferns, Wild Ginger, or Foamflower for a layered, biodiverse design. Its elegant blooms also make it a beautiful addition to informal cottage gardens or wildflower meadows.

Ecological Benefits

Aster divaricatus supports pollinators, including bees and butterflies, by providing nectar during the late growing season. Its spreading habit helps stabilize soil and prevent erosion, making it a valuable addition to sustainable gardens.
