Boltonia asteroides
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
Boltonia asteroides, the white doll's daisy,[1] false chamomile,[2] or false aster, is a species of plant native to the United States and Canada. It is found primarily in the Mississippi Valley and Great Plains from Saskatchewan south to Texas and Florida, with isolated populations in the eastern United States. Reports of the species in New England, New York, and the Pacific Northwest appear to be introductions.[3]
Boltonia asteroides is a robust, 16″ to 78″ tall (40.6cm to 198.1cm), perennial. It spreads by stolons (horizontal stems running along the surface of the ground). It has many daisy-like flower heads with white or lavender ray florets and yellow disc florets.[4]
The species is sometimes cultivated as an ornamental plant because of its attractive flowers.[5][6]
