watering
White wood aster should be watered when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry to the touch. Depending on environmental conditions, this could be anywhere from every 4-7 days. During flowering, it is a good idea to keep the soil slightly moist for the plant to support its blooms.
sunlight
White wood aster (Eurybia divaricata 'Tiney Hiney') should receive plenty of sunlight. It prefers at least 6 hours of sunlight per day, with some morning or evening shade to protect it from the hot afternoon rays. In partial sun, the plant should receive 4 to 6 hours of direct sun per day. While it will tolerate light shade, it does best when it receives plenty of direct sunlight.
pruning
White wood aster should be pruned in early spring just as the new growth emerges. Pruning should be done lightly, taking care to only remove 1 or 2 stems at a time. This will help to keep the plant in check and create a beautiful, airy, full-looking shrub. Dead flowers should be removed after they have bloomed to promote continuous blooming and to encourage the plant to form more flowers. Additionally, any dead or damaged stems should be trimmed off at the base. Overall, white wood aster should only be pruned lightly and no more than approximately 1-third of the plant should be trimmed away.
