Growing Conditions and Care
This hardy perennial performs best when planted in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade exposure. The compact 10-25cm height makes it ideal for front borders, rock gardens, and container plantings. Unlike many asters, this variety tolerates dry soil once established and shows good mildew resistance. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system, then reduce watering as the plant matures.
Planting and Maintenance
Plant your Aster ageratoides 'Stardust' in spring or early autumn, spacing plants 40-50cm apart to allow for natural spreading. The plants arrive in 9cm recyclable growing pots, ready for transplanting. Cut back to ground level after the flowering season ends in late autumn. These asters are cold-hardy but benefit from mulch protection during the first two winters. Divide clumps every 3-5 years in spring or autumn to maintain vigor and encourage abundant flowering.
Wildlife and Pollinator Benefits
The late-season blooms of 'Stardust' provide essential nectar for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects when many other flowers have finished blooming. This makes them particularly valuable for supporting pollinator populations during autumn migration periods. The daisy-like flowers also attract seed-eating birds, adding year-round interest to your garden ecosystem.
