Description: This low-growing Aster is compact and spreads by rhizomes through the soil to fill in the nooks and crannies of open rocky sites and gravelly ditches. It would be a showy addition to a rock garden or any open gravelly site where it has room to grow. This is also a good choice for small spaces and will live for years in containers that are properly overwintered.

Found in Nature: Open rocky sites, slopes and rock outcroppings.

Distribution: Rocky Mountains

Notes: Latin genus recently changed from Aster to Eurybia
