Eurybia divaricata | white wood aster

White wood aster is one of the northeast’s most under appreciated wildflower. Able to grow in dry shade, including at the base of large trees, white wood aster flourishes where most others can’t even survive. Its small stature belies its intrinsic toughness, including being unpalatable to deer and rabbits. Producing new foliage in early spring, Eurybia divaricata grows rather inconspicuously until mid summer when it sends up airy clusters of white, daisy-like flowers. This early fall bloomer lights up a shady garden or woodland with a casual grace that is characteristic of the northeast landscape.
