Description

Mixed Color China Aster is a popular warm-season annual showcasing abundant full double blooms in a rich blend of red, rose, purple and white. Densely layered petals form rounded lush flower heads supported by sturdy upright branching stems above vibrant green foliage, bringing continuous multi-toned color from mid-summer into early autumn. This classic cut flower prefers sunny mild growing conditions; sustained extreme heat may shorten flowering duration. The varied color palette creates lively layered landscapes and offers diverse bloom selections for home floral arrangements.
Mixed Color China Aster is perfect for cottage borders, mass bedding, cutting gardens and decorative patio containers. Long straight stems deliver outstanding vase life after cutting. Regular deadheading of faded flowers promotes new bud growth and extends the blooming season. Plant in fertile well-drained soil and water moderately to avoid root rot. With simple maintenance, this versatile aster mixture yields abundant colorful blossoms, a top choice for gardeners who desire varied hues in one planting.
