Aster ericoides 1G

(Heath Aster)

Fine-textured, bushy aster with narrow leaves and dense sprays of small white to pale pink flowers in late summer and autumn. The multitude of tiny daisies creates a frothy effect and is very attractive to bees and other pollinators. Best in full sun and dry to medium, well-drained soils, and excellent for prairie and meadow-style borders.
