Boltonia (False Starwort)

Boltonias are native American perennial wildflowers found in poor or damp soil as far north as Manitoba, Canada, then south to Florida and west to Texas. Plants resemble asters with sturdy stems, narrow leaves, and dozens of white flowers in clusters. Blooming from late summer into fall, a well-situated boltonia will be covered with bloom.
