Growing & Maintenance Tips

Grows best in an average to moist soil, in full sun. This species of aster needs to be planted in an open and reasonably sunny position to achieve peak flowering. Place in a well-circulated location to limit mildew issues and prevent the bottom foliage from dropping. Very little pruning is necessary to maintain a compact habit.
