#ProPlantTips for Care:

Aster 'Woods Pink' does require full sun, but can take some afternoon shade in the hottest of its favored USDA growing zones 4 through 8. Plant these herbaceous perennials in a moderate soil range with good drainage that does not become extremely dry during the summer. Lower moisture needs once established, just water enough to help it establish as a new plant, and provide supplemental water in the heat of summer. Pinching back the stem tips in late spring and early summer will produce denser growth and heavier blooming. This plant may be divided every few years in the spring.

• Full Sun
• Cold Hardy & Adaptable
• Moderate Moisture & Well-Drained Soils
• Pinch Back in Late Spring/Early Summer
• Rust, Disease & Deer Resistant
