Asters are pretty forgiving plants. Are you sure you don’t have a biennial variety? Asters bloom best in full sun but tolerate part shade. They do not like to sit in water, so well draining soil is important, and good quality—loamy or composted—soil helps. Next year, add a shovelful of compost at the base in spring.
