    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Big Leaf Aster (Aster macrophyllus) is the perfect plant for shady areas with less than perfect soil. Drought tolerant, it thrives in both dry sand and heavy clay soils that possess a modicum of organic matter. Spreads by rhizomes to form a groundcover. Great for stabilizing shaded hillsides and slopes. Hardy to Zones 3 - 7.
