Sow aster seeds in a suitable seed-starting mix at the depth recommended for the variety. Keep the medium moist but not waterlogged and provide bright light after seedlings emerge. Transplant established seedlings when outdoor conditions are suitable, allowing enough space for mature growth.
Blooming time depends on the aster species and variety. Many garden asters flower in summer or fall, while some annual varieties bloom at different times. Individual flowers and overall flowering periods vary with climate, sunlight, watering, and plant care.
Some asters are perennials that can return each year in suitable climates, while others are annuals that complete their life cycle in one growing season. Check the variety name on your seed packet to determine whether the plants are expected to return or need to be replanted.
