00:00Ten tips for growing clusters of blooming asters.
00:04Provide full sun exposure.
00:06Give asters at least six hours of sun to boost blooms, strengthen stems, and reduce dew-related
00:12fungal issues.
00:14Prepare rich, well-draining soil.
00:16Amend beds with compost for loamy, aerated soil that holds moisture without sogginess,
00:21encouraging deep roots and vigorous flowering.
00:25Choose varieties suited to your climate.
00:28Select cultivars matched to your USDA zone.
00:31Cold, hardy natives thrive in frosty regions, while compact Mechelmess types suit containers.
00:37Space plants for showy clusters.
00:40Space plants 12 to 18 inches apart to reduce mildew, allow air flow, and create cohesive,
00:45nectar-rich groupings for butterflies.
00:48Water deeply, but infrequently.
00:51Soak deeply once or twice weekly to encourage deep roots, stabilize clusters, and support
00:55beneficial soil organisms improving aeration.
00:58Feed with balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer.
01:01Apply 51010 or bloom-boosting organics in spring, and at budding to promote sturdy stems
01:07and abundant flowers.
01:09Deadheads spent blooms.
01:11Remove faded flowers weekly to redirect energy from seed production into fresh buds, extending
01:16the display well into fall.
01:19Divide clumps every two to three years.
01:22Divide congested clumps in spring to rejuvenate roots.
01:25Prevent center dieback, control spread, and multiply blooming patches.
01:29Steak or support tall varieties.
01:32Use stakes or cages for 5-foot asters, preventing flop in storms and maintaining upright, showy,
01:37vertical clusters.
01:39Mulch to suppress weeds and conserve moisture.
01:42Apply 2 inches of shredded bark or leaf compost to retain moisture, moderate temperature, suppress
01:47weeds, and feed soil life.
