Symphyotrichum urophyllum
Symphyotrichum urophyllum, affectionately known as the White Arrowleaf Aster, is a charming herbaceous perennial that forms a delightful semi-evergreen rosette of basal leaves, each reaching up to 10 inches across. As spring arrives, this lovely plant sends up one or more upright to ascending stems adorned with alternate leaves. The stems are a soft light green or yellowish green, round in shape, and have a delicate quality to them.
At the top, it produces a cheerful cluster of numerous, short-stalked, daisy-like flowers that blossom from the upper leaf axils. These lovely flowers measure about ½ to ¾ inches across, showcasing 8 to 15 white to pale blue petals (ray flowers) that encircle a sunny pale yellow center disk, which gracefully turns reddish as they mature.
The unique leaves of the Arrowleaf Aster truly set it apart from other asters with small, white flowers. While several other asters sport heart-shaped leaves, they bear blue to violet flowers in more open clusters, complemented by broader phyllaries that are closely pressed, rather than flaring out. It's this charming distinction that makes the White Arrowleaf Aster such a treasure in gardens and natural landscapes alike.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
