Planting & Care
Growing Aster (Aster)
These are late summer/fall blooming native wildflowers that are easy-to-grow and provide an ample late season nectar supply for butterflies and bees. As such, they are an indispensible perennial for late season color and for feeding migrating Monarchs. Asters are resistant to browsing rabbits.
They grow well in most any type of soil including clay.
Mulch with common mulching materials as well as gravel when planted in a xeriscape.
Most do well with regular irrigation to keep the soil moderately moist. Some species are more xeric.
Plant in full sun or part sun. Some varieties will stretch in too much shade
Just a few handfuls of compost and Yum Yum Mix in the planting hole is enough. Don't plant into a rich, highly amended soil.
Species that spread to form wide growing clumps can be divided in mid-spring.
Fertilize in the fall with Yum Yum Mix and good quality compost.
Deadheading is not necessary, but will reduce re-seeding of seed-grown varieties.
Leave standing over the winter months and cut back hard to 1 to 2" above the ground.
If foliage becomes affected with mildew at the end of the growing season, cut back to the ground and remove the leaves/stems to the compost pile or trash.

Cute plants
"Purchased three plants. They made it through winter and bloomed in spring. One plant came out white flowers. One purple plant died right after it bloomed. They're very cute plants/ flowers. Although i have white plant and a purple plant, we'll see what they do next year."
— Garden A. (4/5)
Beautiful Flower
"I was a little surprised to see how small the plant was when I received it. But in its second season it has bloomed, not in purple, but white. I love how compact it is, as well as how strong and healthy the plant is."
— Blong (4/5)
Wanted so much to enjoy
"I was so looking forward to having this plant do well. Sadly chickens got out of their space and dug up this plant before it could flourish. I'm guessing they liked the Yum Yum mix with its worm castings. I hope to get to try this plant again when the property we are on is finally ready for planting."
— Patty (3/5)
Healthy looking plants
"Ordered three, received them today. Well packaged and very healthy looking. Looking forward to springtime."
— Grace (5/5)
Great low maintenance plant
"Out of all of my High Country plants ordered for this Spring, these asters were the first plants to bloom. I can't wait to see these asters grow & bloom more in the coming years. Only odd thing to note, is that one of the aster plants is now producing white flowers instead of purple."
— Kate (5/5)
Nice foliage, beautiful flowers
"I planted this in a large pot with avg potting soil and this small aster spread and bloomed the first year but not prolifically. I look forward to putting it in my rock garden this year in sandy soil, and I am sure it will have more blooms. Very showy flowers on this dwarf aster."
— Donna (4/5)
