Appearance
Heath aster is an herbaceous perennial with stems from 1 to 3 ft tall. Its leaves are sessile and narrow, and become smaller towards the end of the stems and branches. It has white or rarely pinkish, daisy-like composite flowerheads with yellow centers that appear in late summer through fall. They are rather small, 1⁄3 to 1⁄2 inch across.
Distribution
Heath aster grows from Canada across much of the United States into the Mexican states of Coahuila and Nuevo León. Variety ''ericoides'' prefers open locations with sandy, gravelly, or disturbed soil.References:
