My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

my asters are turning brown

19 years ago

Previous years, my asters have had brown stems but the leaves were always find. This year, I noticed quite a few of my asters have brown leaves and the plants don't look very good at all. My big New England Asters are robust but the ones that are around 24" tall aren't doing so well. What is causing this and what should I do? Too much water, too little water? Cut them back or leave them alone? Thanks for your help.
