    This running aster naturalizes well in difficult dry or cold sites, even in clay-based soils.  The simple ray-flowers of Aster modestus continue throughout the summer contrasting nicely with the dark green, lance-shaped leaves.  Generally found along the Canadian border west of the Great Lakes.
