Visitors will do a double take when they pass this lovely, unusual China Aster in the garden or the vase. Big 3 1/2 to 4-inch blooms are simply stuffed with brightly-colored, needle-shaped petals arranged in a swirling pattern atop sturdy 2-foot stems. These blooms are dense, deeply colored, and long-lasting. Best of all, they appear profusely on very vigorous, uniform plants. This formula mix contains 5 complementary colors: white, salmon, pale pink, deep rose, and blue. These large-flowered Asters make a spectacular bouquet all by themselves, and their unusual form combines well with other flowers in the bed, border, or vase. Seastar Mix is quite wilt-tolerant, asking only a sunny spot in the garden. Seeds can be direct-sown after the last frost or, for even earlier blooms, begin indoors. Packet is 100 seeds. |
