Re: New England Aster

I've found asters generally get a bad case of the droops when split and/or
even just moved.  They will recover in a few days.  If they are in the sun
(not in my garden....haven't seen it for a week), you might want to provide
them with a bit of shade until they make up their minds their new location
is OK.

Aster - the new plants are about 8-10" in height - and are looking a bit
droopy. Would it benefit them to trim them back a few inches? Or will some
good watering and a few days in their new location do the trick?
