Product Questions

Is Heart Leaved Aster an aggressive spreader?

Heart Leaved Aster spreads mainly by self-seeding and also by rhizome. It can be agressive in the garden. Unwanted spread can be controlled by deadheading spent flowers before they go to seed. It may be successfully planted in dry shade, to naturalize in areas that are difficult to cultivate.
