| My older Stokes asters did not put out buds this year at all. However, there are new plants nearby that have bloomed. What should I do with the older plants that have sprouted only their base leaves? Will dividing them renew them and when should I do it if that is so. |

| This happened to me this year too. I'm not sure what to do, but am tempted to replace. |

| How old are your plants? All my Stokes asters are in full bloom at the moment. Mine are all seed-grown, not nursery stock. They were grown from seed via winter sowing in 2011-2012. |

| The plants go back about 8 years with additional volunteers starting around 4 years ago. All of those are not putting out buds. The volunteers that are blooming go back about 2 years. All my Stokes have started from 3 potted plants and kept spreading. |

| I have one that didn't bloom last year, which I thought was due to transplanting? This year it has only two blooms. Quite disappointing... |
