Wild forms of asters inhabit many parts of North America, especially riparian zones. But where do asters feel comfortable in this country? Are sunny or shady, dry or humid locations better?
Asters like sun, but not full midday sun
Spoiled by the autumn sun
Asters prefer to grow in sunny places in this country. There they grow faster and form more flowers. But they should not be planted where the blazing midday sun burns. Their flowers wither faster there. The penumbra represents your tolerance range.
Loads of nutrients and moisture
The right substrate counts even when sowing outdoors. It should be like this:
- humorous
- rich in nutrients
- loose in texture
- sandy-loamy to loamy
- permeable
- fresh to moist environment
- moderate
- enriched with compost
tips
Do not plant asters too close together in their location. Otherwise, the risk of mildew infestation increases!
