A fine-textured, wiry aster smothered in tiny white flowers in fall, creating a cloud of white in dry, sunny settings. Incredibly drought tolerant and adaptable to poor, lean soils. The fine texture contrasts beautifully with bold prairie grasses. A favorite of small native bees and late-season butterflies.
