Description

A fashionable new colour of a fashionable, stellar-explosion-style of aster. Like many of the aster family, these flower long and hard into autumn. And last for AGES in a vase.

Care Tips

Water in well for two weeks or so while the roots get established. Stake plants individually or grow through netting or mesh. Ensure supports are in place while plants are still young. Pick regularly for the vase.
