How do you control an aster?

Where is the best place to plant asters?
When & Where to Plant Aster

Do asters come back every year?
Asters that are planted in your garden in the spring will bloom in the fall. For late-season planting, you can purchase them already in bloom for fall color. They'll more than likely return next year, as long as you get them in the ground about six to eight weeks before the ground freezes in your area.
