Care and Watering
Water deeply when the top inch of soil dries, then let it dry again; avoid waterlogging. This European Michaelmas-daisy prefers full sun and well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Mulch to keep roots cool in hot summers.
Maintenance
Deadhead faded flowers to encourage more blooms. At season’s end, cut back to a sturdy framework and divide every 3–4 years to maintain vigor.
Location
Plant in full sun to light shade with protection from harsh winter winds. Use rich, well-drained soil; amend with compost and a light mulch.
Tips
Stake tall stems in windy spots; pinch in spring for a compact habit; propagate by division or seed for new plants.
