False Aster, also known as White Doll’s Daisy, is a perennial flower with sturdy stems, narrow gray-green leaves and beautiful sprays of numerous white flowers in late summer and fall. Plants spread by rhizomes but do not spread aggressively. This species typically occurs in sunny to lightly shaded forests, stream banks, meadows and prairies. Flowers are attractive to many pollinators such as bees, beetles, and butterflies. Excellent pick for pollinator gardens, meadows, detention basins, and rain gardens.
