I have a big NE Aster which, usually, grows way too broad and tall.

I will be pinching it back this spring and trying to root the cuttings.
Never done this plant before--but if they root--I will have some to share.
Anyone rooted cuttings of this Aster?

This is one plant--and it does sprawl...

Thanks, G.

edited to add that rabbits will chew the stems down at the base to get
to the leaves. I lost many stems around the perimeter this way.
