Planting & Care

Sow panicled aster seeds indoors in late winter or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 14-30 days at temperatures around 65-70°F. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.

Choose a sunny to partially shaded location with average to moist soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish. Mature plants are relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooms, or leave seed heads for birds. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
