🌱 Growing Instructions:
Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Lightly cover seeds with soil or vermiculite as they require light for germination. Keep soil consistently moist and maintain temperatures between 65-75°F for optimal sprouting. Once seedlings emerge, thin plants to allow proper spacing for mature growth. These asters thrive in moist prairies and meadows but adapt well to garden beds with well-draining soil and full sun exposure.
