Problems
Year 1
The foliage gets brown and dry before the flowers are ready to use (3); It’s an aster and market is flooded and I don’t like them; Another fall aster. No market; It looks too wild and everyone complained it didn’t hold up; Had to work with stems after cutting to get saleable. Size causes too much on one stem; Short and a little floppy.
Year 2
These plants just have not done well in this climate (Zone 7a), They haven’t produced anything that I thought was usable, I seem to get foliar problems that wreck it; It just does not do well here (Zone 6b), the flowers look terrible when it blooms – probably because of the heat; Not pretty flower, may be our heat (Zone 6b); Low demand for this flower in Aug/Sept.

Comments
Year 1
Similar to the Autumn aster that grows wild around here; I have never cared for this plant. It is pretty in the wild but has never done that well as a cut for me. There was a pretty pink one that I may nurture; Don’t test more asters; Not a great leap forward!; Hope for better things next year.
