Plants of Home and Garden

Sow just covered in spring; perennials should be stratified 2 weeks. Divide larger clumps into 4" clumps in spring; may also propagate from softwood cuttings at this time. Fertile, well-drained but moist soil, sun to part shade, depending on species. Most should be protected from scorching sun. Zone 3-8

Note that the typical florist's asters are cultivars of Callistephus chinensis, an entirely separate species
