Two humble NE asters planted this spring have turned into absolute giants. They grew up almost 7ft tall (the stems that didn’t flop) and are exploding with blossoms. Along with the goldenrod tucked in there, this section of garden is literally buzzing lately, bees and wasps by the dozens.
I was hoping to relocate them to behind those rocks, but I’m not sure the best time of year to do that. Should I wait until next spring?

I didn’t know they go that big
Beautiful
Great Work
I see you don’t have deer.
I need to move my New England Aster also, and my research said spring is best. Since they will bloom until late, if you transplant in fall, they may not have time to establish before the first frost. Good luck!
They also seed quite easily. Deer keep mine trimmed up but you can cut them back for more bushy than tall plants.
You could move them…or you could save seeds and plant more. They will be able to disappear those rocks for you no problem.
