Aster Care

Hi All,

I have transplanted 3 of my Aster's into a 25 gallon bucket today. I am wondering what to do with the extra flower starts on them. They look like they could go into bloom but I don't know if I should pinch them off? Any suggestions? Thanks!

If anyone is curious how the Asters are doing..here is a recent photo! Glad I didn't pluck off the other flower buds! They look super pretty!

Mine are not ready to bloom yet. My first time trying asters from seed. The plants do look healthy so I'm expecting great things from them.lol I'm growing the Pavlova dark bue.

Nice! How are your Asters now?

Well, they're sure not running a race. But I think they are close to sending out blooms.

Here is a photo of some more Asters we grew along with a Borage. I think these have nicer blooms on it
