FAQ about China Aster – Classic

What kind of soil suits China asters best?
China asters thrive in free-draining, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.5. The soil should be well-drained but hold moderate moisture. Avoid planting them in the same place year after year, as this spreads aster wilt.
How often should China asters be watered?
Keep the soil evenly moist but not wet. In normal summer weather, watering two or three times a week is enough, while daily watering may be needed in hot, dry spells. Always water at the root.
Do China asters need pruning during the season?
China asters need no real pruning, but deadheading prolongs flowering. Tall varieties may need support. They make excellent cut flowers and last about one to two weeks in the vase.
Which pests and diseases affect China asters?
Aphids and red spider mite thrive in warm, dry weather. Aster wilt, a soil-borne fungal disease, and grey mould can occur in wet soil or with poor air circulation. Plant them in a new spot each year.
Can China asters be overwintered?
No, the China aster is an annual that dies at the first frost. Collect seed from the best plants before the frosts, or buy fresh seed and sow indoors in early spring.
