The daisy-like blooms of the White Woodland Aster provide a bright pop in a garden or landscape space late into the season. Aster divaricatus blooms during the late summer, and the blooms will hang around through the fall. Thin, white petals fold back to reveal the yellow center of the flowers. The blooms grow on branched stems in a dark mahogany hue. The stems also feature deep green, oval-shaped leaves with toothed edges. This plant almost looks like a cloud from a distance when the abundant white flowers are blooming.
White Woodland Aster has an upright, mounded growth habit and is a great perennial to feature in a bed, border, or mass planting. Use this plant as a groundcover or feature it along with perennials that bloom during the spring and early summer so this Aster can pick up where the others leave off. This is a native plant, so once it is acclimated, it will require very little care, and it is favored by pollinators and birds that will eat the seeds once the flowers fade. This beauty grows as a perennial in USDA zones 3 through 8.
White Woodland Aster Care
This plant prefers rich soil that is dry and well-drained. Plant Aster in full sun to partial shade. With average water needs, White Woodland Aster will need water weekly or when the top several inches of soil dry out.
Since it is native to North America, Aster grows very well without fertilizer. You can give the plant a boost by applying organic mulch around the base of this perennial in the spring, but it is not necessary. Wait until the flowers die back before trimming this plant. All of the greenery can be cut back in the fall.
White Woodland Aster Spacing
Mature plants will grow 18 to 24 inches tall. This perennial will reach 24 to 36 inches wide. Plants can be spaced 20 to 22 inches apart to create a full, meadow-like look.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
