About This Plant
White Heath Aster is a late season perennial with feathery-white flowers that provide much needed nectar to pollinators in the fall. It spreads through rhizomes and is self-seeding, so it can become aggressive and should be given plenty of room. It's a great plant for mitigating erosion on slopes and tolerates a variety of soil conditions.
