Asters in Charge

These asters started their life in my garden as the 8-inch cultivar "Purple Mound," but their offspring were all 3 feet tall.  Then the next generation took a new tack and appeared in the usual purple and a new color, this lovely pink.  If this is their way of telling me I’m not in charge, I get it.  In fact, I can always count on my garden to make me feel insignificant.

Dear Susan,
I have the Purple Mound Asters and have planted as the directions
say not close together but the first year they did well now I went to check on the three I have planted and one is healthy looking and the other two are showing signs of mildew what is your suggestion to take care of this.
Thank You,
Rose Jueden
