& Maintenance Tips

Asters are an easy to grow perennial that grow well in average soils, but prefer moist well-drained soil in full sun. They will tolerate light shading.  They grow approximately 20” in height. These lovely plants form broad bushy clumps, so they should be planted 18-24” apart. Mature clumps should be divided every 3-4 years in the early spring or late fall, once flowering has finished. For great results, pinch back the top 6-8” at least once during the summer, prior to mid-July, to create a bushier plant and to prolong the fall bloom. A common problem with asters is that they oftentimes create a powdery mildew. To prevent this, plant your asters in a sunny spot with good air circulation.

Interesting Notes

Ideal for fall landscape, and does great in containers. Top 10 border plants. Stunning when planted with ornamental grasses! Aster is a Greek word and refers to "star-like" flower. Because of their nice fragrance, there’s a chance bees will buzz-z-z-z around your Aster. So, please, bee-e-e-e careful! Asters are Perenniels, but if you want them back next season, their chances increase if planted in the ground rather than left in a container!  Mulch in Winter for extra protection from harsh weather!
