Just dug this aster up from my brother's place and planted at mine as my first native plant! What else should I do to ensure success?
Will it stand up more or always be wonky? It grew low and sideways like this where it was before, I assume due to the competition from the plants around it.
It's mid 60's and wet today. I'm hoping to get a few more in the next week or two as well. I can get goldenrod to add as well.
Can (should) I also plant milkweed seeds around it [digging out more of the lawn]? If so, how far would everything be spaced out?
Thanks!

It’ll die back and grow again so I wouldn’t worry about it falling over. Give it some water every few days if it isn’t raining. It probably won’t need any next year.
