![]() I was thinking Big leaf Aster (aster macrophyllus) make make a nice plant for your tough garage area. Its big low growing leaves make a nice ground cover. The white blooms in fall are an added bonus.

![]() Aster macrophyllus tends to like moist conditions. Aster divaricatus would be a better choice. Plants that bloom in dry shade usually grow at the edge of the woods in dappled light. I posted a list of forbs that should do alright in your garage area so long as you amend the soil.

![]() Elm-leafed goldenrod is good for dry shade, but it is also an aggressive spreader.
