	Asters blooming in autumn are best planted and divided in spring (they begin to grow), then they will bloom in the same year. When planted in autumn, they often do not have time to take root before the stable freezing of the root layer of the soil and die. Plants are planted at a distance of 20-40 cm from each other so that young underground shoots are covered with soil with a layer of 2-3 cm. After planting, they are watered, if the plants are exposed, then pour the soil. Top dressing is carried out from 2 years after planting.

It is recommended every 2-3 years after cutting the stems of the plant to mulch with a mixture of peat and compost 1: 1. It is necessary to remove old, weak plants, because. they are easily affected by ticks and various infectious diseases.

In practice, more often used vegetative reproduction. The division of the bush is carried out in early spring, when the asters begin to grow, while removing all weak stems. You can propagate asters without digging a bush. With a sharp shovel, one or more parts are separated from it, which, in turn, can be cut into smaller pieces. In a standard division there should be 3-5 new shoots, others believe that at least one bud and several roots are enough.

Aster shrub Dwarf Nancy, planting material (for winter planting). Small asters look very attractive in flowerbeds and borders: they cover the soil like a carpet. The name of this aster comes from the word "gnome" (dwarf - Dwarf): it is really small, like a gnome, next to ordinary asters! Autumn flowering of asters is a joy and a wonderful decoration for any garden! You can plant such an aster both in spring and in autumn. In the photo - planting material ordered by mail in the fall. The bush seems to be not bad, but, unfortunately, we were not lucky - it did not take, in the spring the aster did not germinate. Perhaps they made some mistake during landing, perhaps not everything was good with the planting materials. But, unfortunately, so far it has not been possible to grow such a wonderful aster. It is better to plant an aster in sunny places, then they bloom better and practically do not get sick. Asters prefer permeable, cultivated, good fertile loams. On light soils, they will need moisture. Needs to be watered in dry weather. For low-growing varieties of asters, to which the Dwarf belongs, carnations, iberis, creeping gypsophila can be called good companions. Dwarf aster bush, planting material. Astra shrub Dwarf Nancy in the photo is what should have grown, but we were not lucky, the bush did not come from. Varieties of perennial asters attract the attention of flower growers primarily with their flowering. At a time when most of the plants in the flower beds are already living their last days, this beauty is just waking up. Dissolving its charming buds at the end of summer, it decorates the site until the very frost. In addition, unlike their annual relatives, the perennial aster does not require as much attention. Having planted it once, you can admire the abundant and long flowering for many years. Perhaps the only "disadvantage" of such plants is their range. There are so many varieties of perennial asters that sometimes the choice leads lovers to a dead end. How not to get confused here, if only there are several groups, and what can we say about varieties ... Today we decided to try to help you figure out what types of perennials exist. We also want to introduce you to some varieties of perennial asters with a photo. We hope that our article will facilitate the task and help you choose flowers to your taste. So let's get started. Powerful New England asters One of the most beautiful late flowering asters. Plants are similar to the New Belgian variety, which will be discussed below. You can distinguish them by the stems: in plants of this group, they are stronger and taller. As a result, the bushes grow slender, keep their shape well and do not need a garter. Some varieties are “growth” about 80 cm. Most of the bushes are rather large specimens up to one and a half to two meters in height. New England asters (as in the photo below) are also called American. In addition to size, the New England aster is very lush. Thin, but strong enough, straight shoots are covered with thick leaves-needles. The upper part of the stems actively branches. And when the bush blooms, the foliage is almost invisible under the inflorescences. New England asters bloom late, in September, but stand in buds until frost. The flowers are quite large, with an average diameter of up to 4 cm, or even more. They tend to close in cold weather and at night. New England aster varieties are characterized by high resistance to powdery mildew and rapid growth. Astra Lucida One of the low varieties in this group: a bush of a maximum of 1.1 m, but very strongly branched in the upper part of the shoots. Such growth is fully compensated by the beauty of flowering. Large buds are painted in a noble ruby color. The core is also in this tone, but with a more pronounced red tint. Aster New England Lucida blooms in September for a month. Resistant New Belgian asters Another group of autumn perennial asters. All varieties are resistant to low temperatures and drought. Unlike the New England aster, the height of the varieties of this variety does not exceed 1.5 m. In addition, the bushes do not keep their shape so well and often fall apart under the weight of the buds. Depending on the specific species, flowering occurs in August or September. It lasts until the beginning of November, that is, until the arrival of the first frost. In most cases, the inflorescences are terry, some can reach a diameter of 8 cm. New Belgian asters, photos of some varieties can be seen below, are also called virgin. Particularly popular among flower growers are the following varieties of New Belgian asters: Oktoberfest; Royal Ruby; Henry Blue; Herpicton Pink; Friendly. Astra Oktoberfest Srednerosly bush 1 m tall blooms in August. The flowers are small, semi-double, with pale blue narrow petals. The core is colored yellow, which makes it look like chamomile, only blue. Flowering at the New Belgian Oktoberfest aster is long, until late autumn. Astra Royal Ruby Astra New Belgian Royal Ruby opens its first buds in August and blooms until November. Semi-double inflorescences have a rich royal color: the middle is yellow, and the petals are crimson red. The diameter of the flower is from 2 to 3 m. The bush is medium-sized for this group, its height does not exceed 90 cm, but it is very dense. Astra Henry Blue One of the new varieties of New Belgian aster, Henry Blue, is distinguished by its compact size. The bush is extended by a maximum of 35 cm. It has a very beautiful round shape. Blooms Henry Blue from late summer to mid-autumn. The photo shows terry asters, painted in purple-blue. They immediately attract attention and look favorably against the background of dark foliage. Astra Herpicton Pink The variety is characterized by long flowering, which begins at the end of summer and ends at the end of autumn. The inflorescences are medium in size, painted in pale pink color, with a yellow core. If there is enough lighting, the New Belgian aster Herpicton Pink grows up to one and a half meters in height. Astra the Friendly Very delicate variety with charming pink inflorescences. Their diameter is 7 cm, and the terry shape with a yellow center attracts the eye. The bush itself grows up to 1 m in height. Compact bush asters Varieties of perennial bush (shrub) asters represent another separate group. It includes species that are ideal for borders and rockeries. Their height does not exceed 1 m, although there are also smaller specimens with a height of only 20-40 cm. Such compact bushes look very nice even when they do not bloom, and are considered dwarf. Perennial dwarf asters include not only shrub species. These also include undersized (up to 45 cm in height) varieties of Alpine, New England and Italian asters. The dense crown of asters consists of many branching branches. The shoots are completely covered with small, but elegantly colored foliage. Dark green leaves with such an amount make the aster look like a boxwood bush. And when they bloom in autumn, small inflorescences cover the bushes with a bright solid hat. Another plus is that such asters do not require transplantation for up to 5 years. Older bushes simply become too dense, and then they are divided for reproduction. One of the most beautiful and compact types of shrub aster undersized can be considered such varieties: Blue Bird; Dwarf Nancy; Rosenwichtel; Blue Autumn; Blue Lagoon. Astra Blue Bird Astra shrubby Blue Bird is one of the brightest representatives of border flower species. The bush has a beautiful shape: it is thick and dense, like a green ball covered with flowers. Plant height averages about 30 cm. It blooms in early autumn, flowering lasts 2 months. The inflorescences are small, up to 2.5 cm in diameter, semi-double, but there are a lot of them. In blue asters, the photo clearly shows a large middle, painted yellow. Astra Dwarf Nancy Aster bush Dwarf Nancy grows to a maximum of 25 cm in height. The shoots are so densely spaced that the bush looks like a sphere. It blooms with lilac semi-double inflorescences from early to mid-autumn. Astra Rosenwichtel Shrub aster Rosenwichtel is distinguished by lush forms and long flowering. The height of the bush does not exceed 30 cm, while it is very dense. The erect stems are actively branching and are completely covered with dark green small foliage. Aster blooms in August and blooms until October. Pink asters darken as they bloom, acquiring a reddish hue. The buds are quite large, up to 5 cm in diameter. The petals are arranged in several rows around a yellow core. The variety is frost-resistant, but in dry summers it needs watering. Grows well in both sun and partial shade. Astra Blue Autumn is a hybrid variety whose parents are the usual bush aster and New Belgian. From the first he took a compact size, and from the second - a bright color. The height of the bush is only 40 cm, while it grows in the form of a ball. In September, blue-violet buds with a yellow center bloom. Aster blooms until the coldest. Astra Blue Lagoon Very beautiful variety with rounded bushes up to 50 cm high and dark green foliage. Flowering occurs at the end of summer and lasts until frost. The inflorescences are large enough for such a plant, can reach 5 cm in diameter. There is a large yellow center in the center of the flower. Around it are several rows of bright purple petals. Alpine perennial asters - spring plants Despite the fact that this culture is considered autumn, some varieties of perennial asters are able to please with flowering as early as late spring. These include alpine asters. They differ not only in early flowering. Most of the plants are compact in size - beautiful lush bushes grow up to a maximum of 50 cm. In addition, their flowering usually lasts an average of about a month. Some of the brightest representatives of the group are: alpine blue; aster Pink. Aster alpine blue Alpine blue, unlike autumn asters, blooms in the first half of summer, for which it is called spring. The height of the bush does not exceed 60 cm, while the inflorescences themselves are large. The diameter of the flower is 6 cm, and the color is dominated by lilac-blue tones. In the center of the bud, a yellow core is clearly visible. The variety is most similar to chamomile - its flowers form at the tips of the stems, one on each. Astra Pink A lush and dense perennial will please with its modest size - only 30 cm in height. Actively branching stems are covered with beautiful green foliage. The lower leaves are oblong in shape, and those that grow on the stem itself are smaller and narrower. Pink blooms in May. The buds are medium in size (only 5 cm in diameter), terry, bright pink. Aster blooms for a month. Aster bush Pink goes green in winter, with leaves. May "chamomile" - aster Tongolese Another early flowering variety. Already in May, he is able to please with simple but charming inflorescences. Their core is bright yellow, and thin petals are painted in lilac or purple. Plant height does not exceed 50 cm. Abundantly flowering beauty aster Aster lateralis differs from other perennial plant species in the arrangement of inflorescences, which gave it its name. A 60 cm high bush consists of erect stems (some varieties can grow twice as high). In the upper part, they have many branches into arched shoots. Each of them is densely strewn with small flowers, representing a whole flowering branch. Astra blooms in September, the buds are white or light pink. The middle of the inflorescence is yellow at first, then turns red. Another characteristic feature of the side-flowered aster is the red color of young stems. Unpretentious and beautiful small-flowered aster Separately, it is worth mentioning such a variety of perennial asters as small-flowered or heather aster. This is one of the most unpretentious species, which can most often be found in a flower bed. At its core, it is, the bush grows rapidly to the sides, capturing the territory. It is very powerful, with strong branching shoots. The height of the plant does not exceed 1 m, but with such a crown, it already seems huge. In addition, dark green leaves are located along the entire length of the shoots. At the bottom of the stem, they are larger and tougher. Heather aster is not afraid of frost, drought, or sudden changes in temperature. The small-flowered aster blooms all autumn, and this is the main advantage and difference of the species. Its inflorescences are the smallest of all asters. The color depends on the particular variety and can be white, purple or blue. The core of the flower, as usual, is yellow or red. There are so many buds that under their weight the shoots tend to the ground. For this reason, the bush must be tied up or allowed to lie on the ground with a carpet. Golden aster, golden In conclusion, I would like to mention one more type of perennial autumn beauties - golden (yellow) aster. In the scientific literature, it is known as the flax leaf aster. This species differs from the plants described above in the structure of inflorescences. Flowers are more like fluffy yellow balls collected in inflorescences. They are very small (no more than 1.5 cm in diameter), but they look beautiful and gentle. The bush itself grows up to 50 cm in height. Its stems are strong, covered with very narrow, needle-like leaves. And the golden aster blooms at the end of August, marking the arrival of golden autumn. Here they are so diverse, varieties of perennial asters. Tall or dwarf, large or small, but they all have one thing in common: a light breath of autumn. Astra blooms - it means that summer is saying goodbye to us, but juicy autumn colors come to replace it. Choose your favorite color and "size" and enjoy these beautiful colors!
