If I cut back the Aster, can I use the stem cuttings to propagate new plants? I have a Late Purple Aster.

[@BrightLaneGardens]

Yes! Most herbaceous perennials can be propagated with cuttings. Take 4-5” cuttings, remove the bottom 2/3 of leaves, dip in a rooting hormone and put into potting soil! Expect around a 50% success rate, so take a lot of cuttings :)

Noooooo. Not spiderwort. That stuff spreads like a virus. I worked at a native prairie plant greenhouse and it was out of control. It looks like crap in the landscape once it's done flowering, too.

[@BrightLaneGardens]

I’ve definitely heard people share similar views on spiderwort, and it does spread easily! Some people are looking for this type of growth to fill out a large area. I personally like the look of its foliage even after blooming. But I know everyone has their own preferences

@@BrightLaneGardens it just looks so ratty. I'd rather have the anemone. 😁
