  • Species and varieties: Aster amellus, commonly known as the European Michaelmas-daisy, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. There are several varieties of purple aster, including 'Purple Dome', 'Wood's Purple', and 'New England Aster'.
  • Hybrid or heirloom: Purple aster flower seeds can be both hybrid and heirloom. Heirloom varieties are often preferred for their historical significance and genetic purity, while hybrid varieties may offer improved disease resistance and vigor.
  • Pruning and training: Pruning is essential to maintain the shape and encourage bushier growth. Deadheading spent flowers will promote continuous blooming. In late fall, cut back the stems to about 2 inches above the ground to prepare for winter.
  • Fertilization needs: Purple asters benefit from a balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied in early spring. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers. Compost or organic matter can also be added to the soil to improve fertility.
  • Hardiness zones: Purple aster flower seeds are suitable for USDA hardiness zones 4-8.
  • Climate requirements: Purple asters thrive in full sun to partial shade and prefer well-drained soil. They are tolerant of a range of soil types but perform best in moderately fertile, moist soil. They require a temperate climate with moderate rainfall.
