This plant can reach 2 to 5 feet in height and displays a plateau (flat topped) of creamy white flowers when in bloom. The flowers are relatively long-lived from August through October. The florets of the flower heads turn a creamy white color after the bloom period. The plant has no basal leaves but there are alternate lanceolate leaves along the stem. Flat topped aster reproduces mainly by seed, although small colonies can grow from the rhizomes as well.
This particular plant has really taken to its surroundings this year. Flowers are plenty and the plant is over 5 feet tall
