    Blossoms could be affected by environmental reasons, soil nutrients and simply age of the plants.

    To keep Stokes aster flowers growing strongly from year to year, scratch 3 tablespoons of slow-release 10-20-10 fertilizer into the soil around each plant in the spring. Water the fertilizer in right away to start the nutrients working their way down to the roots.

    Wait till spring to cut it back before new growth starts. Then be sure to deadhead the flowers to encourage more blooms. Here are tips on how to care for them:
