Seedlings of Aster n-angliae Purple DOme: worth keeping?

10 years ago

Hi there,
I found lots of seedlings around the older plant when weeding yetsterday. I know that they will be different from mommy, but as this is a very short cultivar, I wonder whether the off springs tend to be shorter or rather in the 3-4 feet range.
Did anyone of you folks grow/ keep their seedlings?
I got very limited garden space, so there isn`t too much for experiments.
Well, thanks for your experience, bye, Lin

You could try popping a few into pots to see what they do before giving them garden space.

just thought to report back,

I decided to weed them,
overlooked some,

one actually flowerd in a nice pink. I decided to transplant and keep it to watch how tall it will get.

Have a great fall,

bye, Lin
