Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Aster Duchess Blue Ice seeds typically do not require stratification. Ensure seeds are fresh and free from damage.

Sowing:

Start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
Sow seeds thinly on the surface of moist seed starting mix or prepared garden bed.

Germination:

Cover lightly with soil (about 1/8 inch), as light aids germination for aster seeds.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors once they have developed their second set of true leaves and all danger of frost has passed.
Space plants 12-18 inches apart in well-prepared garden soil.

Care and Maintenance:

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
Mulch around plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
