About this product
Bushy aster (Aster dumosus, Symphyotrichum dumosum) is a dense, compact perennial that flowers freely in autumn with small star-shaped daisies.
It blooms from August to October when many other perennials are finished, and suits borders, groups and containers.
It grows in sun in fresh, fertile soil; flower colour depends on the cultivar.

Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in spring or autumn in full sun in well-drained, fertile soil. Space plants 30–40 cm apart and plant at the same depth as in the pot.
Care. Care is easy: mulch keeps moisture in and suppresses weeds. Remove faded flowers to prolong blooming; taller cultivars may need support.
Watering and feeding. Water regularly in dry weather but avoid waterlogging. Feed with a balanced fertiliser or compost in spring; no feeding is needed in the second half of summer.
Winter and pruning. A hardy perennial: cut the stems back to 5–10 cm in autumn or early spring. Young plants can be covered with spruce branches the first winter.
