Autumn flowers that love the sun
When choosing flowers for the autumn garden,

- asters that need fertile, moist soil in a sunny or partially shaded area,
- asters that need moist, medium fertile soil and a partially shaded spot.
Stellar bloom until late autumn.
They can be propagated by seeds (in spring and autumn) and by basal cuttings during spring.
The most common diseases and pests are: plant lice, whiteflies, fungal diseases (powdery mildew, gray mold, rhizoctonia).
The recommendation for disease reduction is:
- planting with appropriate spacing,
- avoiding excessive watering,
