Back in stock: 4-6 weeksAster 'Tall China Mix'
Callistephus chinensis
DESCRIPTION: Good cut flower variety, full-petalled flowers produced early in the season in shades of purple, pink, magenta and white.
PLANTING: Spring and Summer, for hotter parts of Australia winter planting is recommended. Sow seeds directly into garden beds or pots, cover with a thin layer of soil and keep moist. Plant in free draining soil in a full sun to partly shaded location protected from strong winds.
CARE: Water seedlings regularly until established and continue to provide water throughout the growing season, especially during dry spells. Mulch plants to keep the shallow roots cool in summer. Remove spent flowers and apply liquid fertiliser regularly for prolific flowering and plant health.
