Big Leaf Aster spreads underground to stabilize and cover ground in shady areas. The fast spreading nature of Big Leaf Aster makes it suitable for shady locations that need large areas of native groundcover, but maybe not a tidy garden. Sometimes it produces very few flowers and is just a patch of leaves.
