The asters were planted about 3 years ago...they are loaded with blooms every season, but just get too leggy. I will try cutting them back mid July :) Thanks so much for your wonderful advice :)
@aratloon , you are welcome , so it looks like you could also divide a few if you wanted to, will help them greatly and you will lots more around your gardens..:)
@aratloon , could be or you may just need to divide them , how long has it been since you did? so try both pinching back mid July for heavier blooms and stronger stems, and dividing your clump, give good air circulation too! hope this helps!
Great video. I absolutely love the beauty of mums and I have them in my front garden. You answered my question on spreading. I had no idea that they needed to be pinched back several times! My mums looked great for a while, then, we had a bunch of rain the other day and they are all droopy and spreading and falling all over the place! I'll definitely pinch them back next season. Thanks for the info Diane! :)
I love love love fall mums. I have some burgundy colored ones in my yard. but deep orange ones are my favourite. thank you for the instructions about pinching. I've been clueless about it but have wondered how the nurseries get such bushy mums. I need to remember that for next year. seriously, thank you for this info! ~Amanda

Do you cut back Purple Asters the same way as Mums??? My Asters are so tall and leggy, and have since fallen down because of the rain :(
