tall. Its flowers are lavender\/purple and form dazzling blankets of<br \/>color in the fall. Prune back no more than half the plant&#8217;s height in June to avoid sprawling branches and<br \/>open centers. Freezes to ground in winter; trim to the rosette at base of plant in early spring. Forms<br \/>clumps of baby plants around the outside of the base every spring; divide clumps every third year.<\/p><p><strong>Planting Sites:<\/strong> Well-drained rocky, calcareous or sandy soils in full or part sun.<br \/>Planting Instructions: Space plants 2&#8217;A &#8211; 3&#8242; apart. Dig hole slightly larger than, but the same depth as the nursery container. Carefully<br \/>remove plant from container and gently loosen any compacted soil or roots around the root ball. Plant at the same depth as the soil in<br \/>the container. Add 2 to 3 inches of mulch.<\/p><p><strong>Watering Instructions:<\/strong> Water well after planting, using a root stimulator mixed according to directions. For about 3 months, water<br \/>deeply when top 2 &#8211; 3&#8243; of soil is dry to promote deep roots that will withstand drought. Skip a watering after a rainfall of 34&#8243; to 1&#8243;.<br \/>Once established, fall aster is very drought-tolerant.<\/p><p><strong>Comments:<\/strong> Fall aster makes a wonderful border plant and puts on a dazzling display of flowers for several weeks. Its flowers attract<br \/>butterflies, and the dead plants left standing offer birds shelter and food in the winter.<\/p><p><strong>Planting and care instructions provided by the<\/strong><br \/><strong>Lindheimer Chapters of the Native Plant Society of Texas<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fall Aster Aster oblongifolium Fall aster is a perennial that grows 2 -3&#8242; tall.
