New York Aster is a hardy perennial that thrives in partial shade to full sun and tolerates a wide range of garden soils. Water regularly during the growing season but avoid waterlogging, and cut stems back to the ground in late autumn after flowering. Divide clumps every 2-3 years in spring to maintain vigor and encourage abundant late-season blooms.
