Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in spring or fall in average, well-drained to dry soil, spacing 12–18 inches apart. Honeysong Purple is a Stoke's aster with large, rich purple, fringed flower heads that are outstanding for cutting and garden display. It adapts to average to lean conditions without special preparation. Water regularly for the first few weeks, then reduce as the plant establishes. Good drainage is important.

Care Tips

Water regularly during the first season; once established it tolerates drought well. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage flowering through summer and fall. Cut foliage to the ground in late fall or early spring. Rarely troubled by pests or disease.
