Cam--
I have a pretty big New England Aster "bush"...I could dig away a section for you.
It really spreads sideways--unless the rabbits chew down the stems,
They do tend to do that. I have a plastic fencing all around it.

It has not bloomed yet. Aster is a fall bloomer. It has very pretty--blue flowers..
I will add a picture below. LMK if you want one. If you do--I should dig it up now
so it can recover from this "trauma" and still bloom.
Amazing how well it does--it is in my YUK bed!!! It is mostly filtered light--
or bright shade--whichever...as my neighbor's 6' fence is right behind it.
One of the Champs!. Ads nice fall color to nothingness....

1--The "bush"

2--The blooms--closer. These were taken in September of last year.
