Aster

🌼 Vibrant & Autumnal

Asters are the grand finale of the flower garden, providing a spectacular burst of colour just as other blooms begin to fade. These reliable annuals offer daisy-like flowers in rich purples, pinks, and blues, acting as a vital late-season food source for pollinators preparing for winter.

• Growing: Thrives in full sun to light shade. Prefers rich, well-draining soil with consistent moisture.

• Sowing: Start indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or direct sow once the soil has warmed. Space plants well to ensure good air circulation.

• Care: Keep the soil moist, especially during dry spells. Pinch back the tips early in the season to encourage a bushier, more compact habit and more prolific blooming.

• Blooming: Offers a beautiful, reliable display from late summer through the first autumn frost.
