The most economical way to purchase your plants. Securely rooted, strong plants in mini-plugs of compost. Will need to be transplanted and grown on before planting out ready to flower. Tender varieties will need protecting from frost. Compost volume around 2.6cm deep x 1.8cm square. Foliage height 1.5cm-5cm (depending on variety). Full growing instructions are provided.

Using a good quality multi-purpose compost, pot up your plugs into 10cm pots or 6 cell trays. Once your plug plants have been potted on and labelled, water them in well and grow on for around 5-6 weeks.  Water once the compost starts to dry out.

Keep plants frost free until mid/late May and then harden off before being placed in their final positions when the risk of frost has passed in your area.

Water as necessary giving a liquid feed such as Neudorff Organic Plant Feed as instructed throughout the growing season.

***For packs of 20/40 plug plants gently remove the small plugs from the tray by pushing up from the bottom using a pencil.

Brookside Nursery Advice to help you get the best from your Aster Milady plants.

Aster Milady could not be a more perfect plant to grow in the UK climate as these plants prefer cool, moist summer conditions although they do like a sunny position either South or West facing.

Prepare the ground before planting by incorporating a slow-release granular fertilizer.

Once ready to plant outside, space at 8-10" (20-25cm) intervals to allow them to grow fully without being overcrowded. Water in well and keep watered throughout the growing season.

Aster Milady is classed as an annual in the UK and because it can be in flower until the first frosts it is worth feeding every fortnight with a liquid feed.
