This aster steals the spring (not fall) show

Name: 'Wayne Roderick' baech aster
(Erigeron 'Wayne Roderick')
Zones: 5 to 8
Size: 1 foot tall and 18 inches wide
Conditions: Full sun ; well-drained soil
Staying Power: Mostly evergreen

Any spot in full sun with sharply drained soil is enough to trigger a profuse floral outburst from 'Wayne Roderick' beach aster. It grows into a dense mat and blooms for most of the growing season.
To promote reblooming, pinch off spent flowers or shear the whole plant. This beach aster seems to be as good at deterring as it is attracting butterflies.
