500 Decurrent False Aster Seeds - Boltonia decurrens Native Wetland Wildflower White Blooms

Decurrent False Aster (Boltonia decurrens) is a native wetland wildflower prized for its late-season display of white, daisy-like blooms. This tall, clump-forming perennial produces masses of flowers that attract pollinators and add a soft, naturalistic look to rain gardens, pollinator plantings, and moist meadow areas.

Its tolerance of wet soils and its profusion of white flowers make it a valuable choice for challenging sites and for extending color into late summer and fall.

Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors in late winter or early spring, or directly outdoors in fall after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the growing medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Provide bright light and good air circulation. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them to individual pots or into the garden after hardening off.

In the garden, choose a site with moist to wet soil and full sun to partial shade. Water regularly during establishment and during dry spells. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Cut back spent stems in late fall or early spring to tidy the plant and encourage fresh growth.
