Hardy Aster
Aster
Description:
Asters make terrific accents to fall gardens. They look great with ornamental grasses and the changing colors of the trees. They perform best in rich, evenly moist soil in full sun. Be sure to give them lots of room to grow as good air circulation is vital to prevent powdery mildew. If pinched back in mid-July, the plants will be heavier blooming and probably will not need staking.
