Description

A large number of abundant perennials, in all colours, for spring, summer or autumn, for all uses and growing environments. Autumn hybrids, whether tall or small, will benefit from being divided every 2 to 3 years to regenerate the stump and protect them from powdery mildew.

Very hardy. Has given birth to many varieties. Suitable for any moist to damp, rich and clayey soil. Better performance than Aster novi-belgii; rarely affected by diseases and does not require staking. Despite its "exotic" name, this variety is one of the hardiest and best, with ruby red - truly red - flowers without a hint of purple.

Planting and care

Pour cultiver l'Aster novae-angliae 'Andenken an Alma Pötschke', choisissez un emplacement en plein soleil, car elle a besoin de beaucoup de lumière pour bien fleurir. Préparez un sol bien drainé, de préférence riche en humus, et légèrement humide, bien qu'il tolère des sols plus ordinaires, argileux et/ou calcaires. Avant la plantation, il est utile d'amender le sol avec du compost pour améliorer sa structure et sa rétention en eau, surtout dans les sols pauvres.

Lors de la plantation, espacez les pieds d'environ 80 à 90 cm pour laisser suffisamment d'air circuler et éviter les maladies comme l'oïdium. Arrosez régulièrement, en période sèche, mais sans excès, car la plante n'aime pas les sols détrempés. Il est conseillé de pincer les tiges plusieurs fois avant la mi-juillet pour favoriser un port plus compact et éviter que la plante ne devienne trop haute, ce qui peut nécessiter un tuteurage.

Pour maintenir une floraison abondante, pensez à diviser la touffe tous les 3 à 4 ans au printemps, car l'aster a tendance à devenir dense avec le temps, ce qui peut réduire sa vigueur. Enfin, un paillis en été peut être utile pour maintenir la fraîcheur du sol et limiter l'arrosage.

L'Aster novae-angliae 'Andenken an Alma Pötschke' est généralement résistant aux maladies, mais la plante peut être sujette à certaines pathologies, notamment l'oïdium et la rouille dans des conditions de mauvaise aération ou d'humidité excessive. Cependant, ces problèmes peuvent être largement évités en plantant l'aster dans un endroit bien ensoleillé, avec une bonne circulation d'air, et en évitant de trop arroser.

Un autre aspect à surveiller est le mildiou qui peut affecter les asters dans les conditions humides. Pour limiter les risques, il est conseillé de pratiquer des tailles régulières pour aérer la plante et de ne pas trop densifier les plantations.
