Eurybia macrophylla
Common name: Big-Leaved Aster
Big-Leaved Aster is a shade loving plant with delicate, light purple to white flowers. Like most Asters, bloom time occurs late summer to early fall and lasts a month to a month and a half. Although this plant is a true woodland species, the best bloom displays occur when planted in part shade conditions. The large, light green, heart-shaped basal leaves are very attractive in the spring and summer. If given room, this plant will spread rhizomatously, forming small colonies.
