Download or read book Aster Flower Plant Growing written by Colson Emony and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-08-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asters are members of the Asteraceae family, one of the most numerous and diverse groups of flowering plants. The Greek word for "star" is "aster," which describes the distinctive shape of the flowers of these plants. The aster flower is widespread across Eurasia and North America. The composite flowers of an aster are reminiscent of daisies, but the flower itself is distinctive. There are many tiny tubular florets in each flower head, and these are encircled by colourful ray florets. The ray florets, which radiate out from the centre of the flower, can be any colour, from white to pink to purple to blue to even bicolor. Late summer and fall are peak flowering times, bringing a welcome splash of colour to gardens and landscapes when many other plants have faded. The ability of aster flowers to draw in pollinators like butterflies and bees is a major perk. Asters are great for pollinator gardens because their nectar-rich blossoms attract beneficial insects. They also aid in biodiversity by providing food for the caterpillars of some butterfly species. Numerous types and cultivars of asters mean that you can pick from a rainbow of colours and sizes. New York asters (Symphyotrichum novi-belgii) and New England asters (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae) are the two primary types. These plants are tough and versatile, growing well in a wide range of soil and lighting conditions with only a few exceptions. Asters require little in the way of upkeep and are hence popular as cut flowers. They like well-drained soil and need regular watering, especially in dry spells. By removing faded blossoms, you can promote new blooms and stop the spread of unwanted seeds. To keep a compact and bushy form, prune in late spring or early summer. Plants benefit from being divided every few years to encourage new growth and revitalization. The aster flower is steeped in meaning throughout many cultures. They were worshipped in ancient Greece in honour of the virgin goddess Astraea. Asters are commonly associated with patience, elegance, and wisdom in the floral symbolism tradition. They are also frequently included as accents in bouquets and other flower arrangements. Asters are stunning flowers that may be grown in a garden or brought inside as cut flowers to brighten up any room. Both amateur and seasoned gardeners alike gravitate toward aster flowers for their charming star-shaped blooms, brilliant colours, and ecological importance.
