Cait's Garden

Boltonia asteroides “Snowbank” to be precise! Never heard of it? Neither had I until this past July when I saw it at the garden center. But this plant has some history. It’s an American wildflower! Nicknames for it are White Doll’s Daisy and Wild Aster. It definitely has the qualities of both an aster and a daisy. It is also sometimes called Starflower. The clump shown in the photo isn’t all that impressive because I planted it only a couple of months ago. It just started blooming for me in mid-September. At full-strength, this plant should get up to 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide. This will be something else to look forward to on the cusp of fall when many of my other flowers are waning.
