How To Grow

Choose to sow seeds either in seed boxes/punnets or directly in the desired flowering position. Plant the seeds 6mm deep in the soil.

When planting aster seedlings or sowing seeds directly, space them 45cm apart. This provides enough room for their growth and ensures proper airflow between plants.

Wait until the frost danger has passed before planting aster seedlings or sowing seeds outdoors. Asters thrive in warm weather.

In hot weather, apply a layer of mulch, such as lawn clippings or compost, over the soil surface surrounding the aster plants. This helps conserve moisture in the soil and keeps the roots cool.

Asters require ample water during their growing and flowering season. Ensure they receive regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist. Adequate hydration will promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
