Product Details
Description
These Asters are definitely a bit of a show-off! Flouncy, with incurved petals in vivid colours, they are loud, excitable, and over the top and I just love them.
They make the most wonderful flowers either for enjoying in the garden or for cut flowers to bring into the house and sit and soak up the sheer vibrancy of them.
These decadent, chrysanthemum-like blooms flower a little later than some Asters, from mid-summer through to the autumn, so they will help extend the flower season in your garden.
Plant Care Tips
Sow March-May 0.5cm deep in seed trays or modules and keep warm to germinate.
Germination takes 14-21 days
Or sow directly outdoors where they are to grow in May for later flowering
If sowing indoors, transplant when large enough to handle and grow on in cooler conditions
Harden off before planting outside after all risk of frost has passed
