    I've grown asters for the last couple of years and I personally think they are greatly underrated. I love asters and I wrote down a couple of the ones you showed to add to my collection for next year. Great video!

    I've always pronounced it (chamois) shammy. Like the leather cloths. Tower silver aster is a must have in my garden.

    I had some China Asters in my garden last year and one popped up in my garden this spring, what a nice surprise! So I decided to grow some more from seed and planted them by the surprise aster but bugs ate them 😢the one that came up on it’s own is doing great!

    Will the asters come back next year if you leave them in ground? I'm in Ontario zone 5b. I think I heard that somewhere.

      They are annuals so it might be reseeding from the previous years plants if you let the seeds fall on the ground!
