What month do asters flower?

Asters are in the daisy family and flower mostly in late summer and autumn, which gives them their common name Michaelmas daisy. Asters are ideal for growing in mixed borders, with grasses and other prairie-type perennials. Asters are a great transition plant, bridging the seasons from summer to autumn.

How long do asters bloom for?

Asters need full sun, which is at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. With too much shade, they get leggy and floppy. Asters usually bloom for weeks from early to late fall.
