Plant description
Masses of white, daisy-like flowers with brownish yellow centres are produced in loose clusters from June to October. This white wood aster, originally from North America, was a favourite shade-loving plant of Gertrude Jekyll who used it in her own garden teaming it with bergenias. A great plant for a shady border.
