  • Question

    Hello Arthur (Ace!) - I need help distinguishing Eurybia divaratica from Symphyotricum cordifolium-- in spring time/now, before they are flowering or the plant has yet grown in height. Here are a few examples... maybe they are all same species, maybe not? Thanks much!

    Answer

    Dear limnjucy@gmail.com, good afternoon. I don't feel that I can assist you with confidence from the images. There does look like the possibility of both species present. Without the plants in hand, I don't want to lead you astray. I'm sorry I can't be of assistance.
