Aster Plant Care and informationAsters vary greatly in growing habit from plants that will reach over 6ft (2m) to low growing species and cultivars that will stay at around 1ft (.3m). In general they require little care after planting other than a tidy up after flowering and pruning to shape. We suggest digging in some well rotted compost and aged manure before planting in a sunny well drained position. Water in well with your favorite seaweed fertilizer and remember to mulch in spring to help maintain a cool root run and conserve moisture. Larger clumps can be divided in early spring. |
