It carries an imperiled conservation status from NatureServe. Growing one matters. In late summer to early fall it produces clusters of flower heads with white to lavender rays surrounding pale yellow centers carried in flat-topped corymbs that give the plant one of its common name, bouquet aster. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt grows naturally in deciduous or mixed deciduous woods, on slopes and alluvial plains, in basic to neutral soils. In the garden give it dappled to part shade, well-drained average soil, and good moisture through the growing season. It's a well-behaved clump-former, not aggressive, not a spreader, and pairs beautifully with ferns, goldenrod, and other woodland natives in a shade border or food forest understory. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🌿 Latin Name: Eurybia mirabilis\u003cbr\u003e🌞 Light: Part shade to dappled shade\u003cbr\u003e🌱 Soil: Well-drained, average to moist; basic to neutral pH preferred\u003cbr\u003e💧 Water: Consistent moisture through growing season; mulch well\u003cbr\u003e📏 Mature Size: 1–2 ft tall; clumping habit\u003cbr\u003e🌸 Bloom Time: Late summer through early fall\u003cbr\u003e🗺️ Hardiness Zone: 6–9\u003cbr\u003e🦋 Wildlife Value: Late-season nectar source for native bees and butterflies; seeds feed songbirds\u003cbr\u003e🏆 Conservation Status: Imperiled (NatureServe); endemic to the Carolinas Piedmont\u003cbr\u003e♻️ Landscape Use: Woodland shade garden, food forest understory, native border; pairs well with ferns, goldenrod, and native grasses\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Earth Nursery","offers":[{"title":"3.5\" x 5\" pot","offer_id":43132425797703,"sku":null,"price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/5058\/5415\/files\/1_71263cbf-f27e-44c3-94af-5ab0d4a0dd01.png?v=1787770282","url":"https:\/\/newearthnursery.com\/products\/piedmont-aster-eurybia-mirabilis","provider":"New Earth Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
