1 While the plant can be grown from seed, germination can be uneven. 2  You can start the seeds indoors during the winter by sowing seeds in pots or flats and keeping them in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 weeks. 3  After 4 to 6 weeks, put the seeds in a sunny spot.4  Set seeds one inch deep. Space asters 1 to 3 feet apart, depending on the type. 2  Water plants in well. 3  Add mulch after planting to keep soil cool and prevent weeds.If you're replanting shoots, use vigorous, young shoots to ensure best growth.
3. Keep your seeds warm. You can create greenhouse-like conditions for your seeds to easily provide the heat to aid in germination by adding a layer of glass to your seeds. Either use a small glass container, or place a pane of glass just over the top of the seed trays.. Prepare a soil mixture. Seeds can be planted outdoors, but suffer a much higher chance of dying if done so; garden soil is full of plant diseases and insects that can quickly kill of seeds. Therefore, start your seeds indoors in a soil-less potting mixture.
