Also known as the White Wood Aster, Aster divaricatus will produce a myriad of delicate white daisy like flowers sitting aloft dark stems from summer into autumn. Contrast this with brownish yellow centres for an eye-catching display.Native to North America, Aster divaricatus loves a shady spot although will also happily grow in part sun. Perfect for a cottage style garden, in a border or a container and will make a stunning display when planted with larger leaved perennials, such as Hostas. Bees and pollinators adore the flowers providing them with a plentiful late summer feast.Aster divaricatus grows to a mature height and spread of 60cm and will thrive in moist, well-drained soil. Classed by the RHS as hardy H4, so may need winter protection in some areas, this can be easily achieved by adding a generous mulch around the base of the plant after it has died back in the autumn.
