the management is too lazy. managers do not take complaints seriously and are biased based on ethnicity. new employees get targeted by people who have been working for a while and try to rule or pressurize the new ones. they expect a lot of work and pay minimum wage.
Alpine asters (Aster alpines) grow to a height of 6 to 12 inches and bloom from mid-spring to early summer. Their daisy-type, 1-inch-diameter flowers have purple-blue petals and yellow centers.
If you have a perennial aster (versus annual), we would cut them back to 6 inches after they bloom. You could transplant the aster into the garden for the winter as long as it's six weeks before the ground freezes. Or, you could literally plant the container in the ground. This is a bit riskier.
