The Aster family is full of wonderful, prolific plants. White wood aster (Eurybia divaricata) spreads abundantly and will self-sew easily. This divaricated, or widely spreading, perennial is happy to thrive in sun or shade. It stands at 1 to 2 feet tall with masses of small white flowers that bloom in September and October. White wood aster can thrive in fairly unkind conditions. Found throughout the eastern U.S. from New Hampshire to Ontario and south from Ohio to Maryland to the mountains of Georgia, which includes all of zones 3 to 8.
