Gorgeous Aster for the garden
The Aster is a strong, colourful outdoor plant that really comes into its own in autumn. When plenty of other plants have finished flowering, the Aster gives your garden a fresh boost. With its many small flowers in shades of lilac, white and purple it brings real atmosphere, and it's a favourite with bees and butterflies.
Many Asters have their origins in Asia, where they grow in temperate climates. That's what makes them so resilient to changeable weather.
How do you choose the perfect Aster?
The Aster grows into a bushy plant and is perfect for borders, though it does well as ground cover too. So choose a size that suits your garden or balcony.
Is the Aster toxic?
The Aster isn't toxic, which makes it a safe choice for households with children and pets. You can give it a spot in your garden with complete peace of mind.
When does the Aster flower?
The Aster is a real late bloomer. Most varieties flower from the end of summer well into autumn, which makes the plant ideal for keeping your garden lively and colourful in the autumn months too.
Caring for the Aster
The Aster is an easy plant that asks very little. With the right care you'll enjoy a generous flowering year after year:
- Watering: water it regularly, especially during dry spells. Make sure the soil drains well so excess water can run away.
- Light: the Aster is happiest in full sun. It will grow in partial shade as well, but it won't flower as generously.
- Soil: a light, free-draining soil is ideal for this plant.
- Hardiness: the Aster is hardy and comes back in the garden every year.
- Pruning and propagating the Aster: Prune the Aster back in spring for healthy growth and flowering. Propagating is easy by dividing the plant, which is best done in spring or after flowering.
