watering
White wood aster plants should be watered when the top inch of soil is dry. This species thrives best in evenly moist, well-draining soils. During the summer months, water the plant deeply about once a week, allowing the water to thoroughly soak through the soil. During the winter, reduce the waterings to less frequent and shallower.
sunlight
White wood aster (Eurybia divaricata) prefers a sunny spot in the garden, though it can tolerate some shade. This plant species needs full sun (at least 6 hours a day) for successful growth and flowering. In moderate climates, White wood aster will tolerate partial shade, but will produce fewer flowers than when planted in full sun. In hot climates, this plant species should be in a spot with some shade during the hottest parts of the day.
pruning
White wood aster (Eurybia divaricata) should be lightly pruned in the spring after flowering. Pruning should involve cutting back the plant by about 1-third of its total height. Pruning any more than this could result in fewer flower blooms in the future.
