Boltonia asteroides Growing and Maintenance Tips

Although it will certainly tolerate periods of drought, Boltonia prefers average to moist soil and will withstand periodic wet feet. Full sun is essential for maintaining an upright stature. Cut back in early to mid summer to achieve a less lanky habit. Propagate by division in spring or fall and tip cuttings in spring.
