Aster (Aster Alpinus Blue) - Aster Alpinus is known for adapting. It can do well in full sun or partial shade, and it's very cold tolerant. It grows readily from Aster seeds and produces abundant flowers in shades of blue throughout the summer and into early autumn. Asters are known for strong flowering stalks with large flower heads. The flowers provide a good source of nectar for bees.
Great container plant
Aster alpinus will bring in many bees and butterflies! These plants do well in rock gardens, at the front of a border or in containers on a porch or patio.

Flower Care
Asters perform best in full sun, but they will also provide a nice display in partial shade. Aster plants prefer to be in well-drained soil that has been incorporated with organic matter.
Removal of spent flowering stalks can be accomplished with a set of pruners or scissors. 'Deadheading' encourages new blooms. Make the cut just above the basal rosette of leaves.

How to Grow
Sow Aster flower seed indoors in early spring using starter mix. Press flower seed into soil and barely cover. Transplant into the garden 12 inches apart. For areas with long growing season, Aster seeds can be started directly outdoors after frost danger has passed.
