I have a love/hate relationship with these asters. I think they are just one step above a weed. Last fall I removed tons of them, but as you will see, I still have tons left!
Most of the ones I moved last year ended up behind this small rock wall.
I think this is a good place for them. The rockwall hides their lower leaves which are pretty shabby. However, I think the first photos look decent, too. If I remove all of them from the gardens, then I won't have much blooming in September.
So I think I will leave them where they are--at least for this year.
Let the Basting Begin!

I am using my dining room table to baste this big one -- it's about 105 x
105 inches (king size).
It's been a while since I've finished one this big.

I love asters..they are such a pretty flower! But I can understand not wanting tons of them:)
ReplyDeleteAsters always make me think they want to be mums when they grow up.
ReplyDeleteIf I harvest my seeds correctly I will have tons of tall red zinnia seeds, want some?
Guess I will be the minority, I think they are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the color of these Asters. I like them behind the wall too.
ReplyDeleteMy mom just bought some-of course I thought of you and that was before you did this post!
I have plenty of them growing wild so I don't need to plant anymore. I do like them though.
