What is Aster Divaricatus?

Aster Divaricatus, sometimes referred to its updated scientific name Eurybia Divaricata, is a permanent flowering plant called forest aster or white wood aster. This plant contains earned heart -shaped leaves and the abundance of small white flowers that begin to bloom at the end of summer. This plant usually occurs in the Eastern US in the Appalachian region, flourishing in zones of 3 to 8 and to tolerate soil that is dry or slightly acidic. Three popular Aster Divaricatus cultivars are called Fiesta, Raiche Forms and Snow Heron. Heart -shaped leaves, which can be over 2.5 inches (6.25 cm), grow from flexible snake stems. Foliage is a dark green color.

There are approximately 28 identified species in the Eurybia genus or in the Asterian family. Aster Divaricatus is found abundantly in the eastern US from Maine to Mississippi. It also comes to life parts of the Southeast Canada, specifically Ontario and Quebec, where the species is at risk. This plant is usually found to grow a growing wilderness in an open leSIY or CLEARECH in relatively dry conditions.

Forest aster is a perennial plant that prosper very little maintenance or water. It is partly valued because it is not particularly susceptible to insect or disease damage. This perennial will do well in full sun or in a partially shaded area that receives up to four hours of sunlight a day, and will produce flowers even under shady conditions.

This kind of aster may not be deployed for support, but its natural tendency to grow can be controlled by its planting between guests or other strong perennials. If it is left uncontrollable, one plant aster Divaricatus can expand up to 2.5 feet (76 cm). It is considered to be useful as a ground cover.

Aster Divaricatus is said to attract butterflies who feed on nectar of their white flowers as well as singers who use parts of the plantAs a material for the construction of their nests. It also provides general coverage of wild animals. This plant is sometimes confused with other species that have superficial similarities such as the Aster mountain wood, Eurybia chlorolepis; Schreber's Aster, Eurybia Schreber; Bigleaf Aster, Eurybia Macrophylla; and Heartleaf Aster, Symphyotrichum Cordifolium.
