Eurybia macrophylla (Big-leaved Aster)
Eurybia macrophylla, also known as Big-leaved Aster, is perfect for shady areas with less than perfect soil. The large, heart-shaped basal foliage will easily form a solid ground cover, even in poor soil. Upright stems emerge from the base in late summer, bearing open clusters of bluish-white rayed flowers around 1.5" across.
Great for stabilizing shaded hillsides and slopes, it spreads by rhizomes to form a ground cover, but is not overly aggressive. It thrives in both dry sand and heavy clay soils as long as there is some organic matter.
