Do Asters Stay Green All Winter

Question

My sister needs to have year round greenery at her place, so do asters keep their leaves all winter?

Answer 1

No, asters are deciduous. I have a cousin in nearby Illinois that has an evergreen Golden Mops (a.k.a. Chamaecyparis pisifera, or Sawara cypress). You can also use ground juniper, also called Common Juniper, Old Field Juniper, Prostrate Juniper, Juniperus communis var. depressa.
