Growing Tips for New Zealand

Sow seeds indoors in seed trays 6–8 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow in spring once soil has warmed. Transplant seedlings to 30–40 cm apart in a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil. Asters prefer a neutral to slightly alkaline soil — add lime if your soil is acidic. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging. Pinch out growing tips when young to encourage bushy plants and more blooms. Performs beautifully throughout NZ, flowering from late summer into autumn.
