Big-Leaved Aster (Eurybia macrophylla) is a native woodland perennial prized more for its broad, hosta-like leaves than its late-season blooms. This 32-plant pack offers an ideal solution for creating a low-maintenance, non-invasive groundcover in shaded garden beds, woodland edges, or under trees.
While the pale lavender, daisy-like flowers appear in late summer to fall and attract pollinators, the true standout feature is the large, dark green foliage, which adds structure and texture to shady plantings. Unlike many non-native groundcovers that escape cultivation and disrupt native habitats, Big-Leaved Aster is slow-spreading and ecologically safe, making it an excellent native alternative for filling space in low-light conditions.
Why Choose a Tray of Big-Leaved Aster?
Plant Big-Leaved Aster in part to full shade with moist, well-drained soil, and enjoy a lush, leafy tapestry that adds texture, supports wildlife, and honors the natural character of native woodlands.
