Description Aster (Callistephus Chinensis Cymes) 200 seeds (#2244)

An annual plant with full white flowers with a creamy-yellow center and crown petals radiating out at the base.
Plant height 50-75cm. It blooms from July to October.
Recommended for cut flowers, beds, borders and flower beds.
China aster can be planted in loam or sandy soil in well drained conditions and full sun. Do not bother to deadhead spent blossoms as 'Hulk' will not reflower since long daylengths are required for flower bud formation. This plant is susceptible to yellow wilt so avoid overwatering or poorly drained soils as once leaf yellowing occurs there is no treatment.
Approximately 200 seeds in 1g packet.
