Aster la vista baby

It's been a productive day albeit a bit chilly. Last year a client brought some asters from a previous home to use in a new border we had been developing. I wasn't sure of the variety of aster so a little cautious as to their durability, size and what precise colour.

As we headed into autumn the asters took over the main display and provided a colourful display but I could already see that they were too prominent. Notes were taken and today these same plants were dug-up, divided and replanted in slightly different positions.

From the first 3 plants, I was able to get quite a few new plants. All that's needed now is to get the remaining spare plants potted up in readiness for a charity event next year.  Further divisions from the rest of the asters made sure I had in excess of 40 new plants.  Not bad for a day's work!
