The large incurving heads of these fully double, tall asters resemble autumn chrysanthemums, but flower months before them.

The vigorous plants are basal branching, and the colour range of the blooms is first rate.

growing information

Sowing Indoors

Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface, and lightly cover them with a little more compost. Place in warmth 15-20C (60-70F) and keep moist.

Growing on / thinning

Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from bright sun. When large enough to handle, transplant 5cm (2in) apart into trays of potting compost.

Hardening off / planting

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out from April onwards. Allow 30cm (12in) between plants.

Special note

Ideal for cutting
