Aster: varieties, growing and uses
The name aster covers two very different garden plans. China asters are sown for one season; autumn asters build a perennial clump over several years. First decide whether you want a cutting bed for this summer or a permanent strip that adds colour when many other flowers have finished.

- Use
- This selection is for ornamental and cut flowers. No claim about edibility or flavour is made.
- Care
- De meeste asters houden van zon en grond die zomers niet volledig uitdroogt. Vermijd langdurige winterse waterverzadiging. Plant vaste asters bij voorkeur in het voorjaar en steun hoge vormen vroeg. Controleer jonge scheuten op slakken en geef elke plant ruimte voor luchtcirculatie.
