Soft, Daisy-Like Blooms for Meadows, Pollinators & Natural Landscapes

Often mistaken for an aster, White Upland Aster (Solidago ptarmicoides) is actually a unique species in the goldenrod family, featuring elegant white, daisy-like flowers with yellow centers. This hardy, drought-tolerant native perennial thrives in poor, dry soils where other plants struggle, making it a favorite for meadow restorations, native landscaping, and pollinator-friendly spaces.

Its sturdy stems, gray-green foliage, and late-season blooms offer critical forage for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, especially when many other flowers are fading.
