description for "Aster: Eurybia divaricata"
The white wood aster is native to eastern North America. It is the most shade-tolerant aster we know; it will even perform well in dry shade. It is quite airy-looking, with a twiggy look and small clustered flowers. The flowers can be dried. The white wood aster combines well with bergenia. Self-sowing sometimes occurs. It was introduced in the mid 1700's and became popular by the early 1800's. Later, it fell out of favor but was revived by horticultural notables William Robinson and Gertrude Jekyll. The asters are a large group of plants, over 600 species, distributed throughout the world. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
