Also in this case the plant has lanceolate and pointed leaves. The flowers it produces are equipped with numerous pink or lilac but also white petals. The center of the corolla is yellow. This species is also commonly called “September flower” due to its flowering period which starts at the end of summer and lasts until the end of October. Together with the novi belgii, the novae angliae are also included among the septembrini. Always considering the flowering period, the flowers of the Aster dumosus, with a shrubby and groundcover habit, capable of reaching 40-50 cm in height, also bloom by September.

How to grow Aster? Let’s start with the type of terrain

Aster dumosus bushes are green and round, they also have very smooth green leaves. This species produces many small flowers with white or blue petals with a yellow center. This plant prefers light and nutritious soils, i.e. rich in minerals. When planting, incorporate some compost or organic substance into the soil. Be careful of waterlogging: Aster requires extremely draining soil.

Environment

The aster loves the sun, it grows well even in bright shade but a sunny environment will be perfect for its growth. Provide the plant with a guardian, especially if it is still young: in this way it will be able to resist bad weather such as wind and heavy rain.
