Description

National Day Series Mixed Color China Asters are premium late-season annuals crafted to deliver a vibrant multi-toned display of pompom-style double blooms. This curated seed blend produces full rose-shaped flower heads in soft rose pink, creamy white, deep lavender, golden yellow, and burgundy red, each packed with dense ruffled petals around tiny golden centers. Robust, well-branched upright stems carry dozens of blossoms across each bushy plant, forming lush mounds that fill garden spaces with varied, eye-catching color from late summer into early fall. Developed as part of the uniform National Day line, every seedling delivers consistent large blooms that hold their rich hues without fading under soft autumn sunlight.
This multi-color aster mix is a versatile workhorse for seasonal landscaping and cut flower gardens alike. It shines in mass border plantings, mixed patio containers, and fresh cutting beds, creating dynamic color combinations that stand out as summer blooms start to fade. The wide layered flower structures offer accessible nectar, supporting native bees and migrating butterflies seeking late-season food sources. Regular deadheading of spent blooms extends the flowering cycle significantly, providing weeks of mixed pastel and bold floral beauty with minimal seasonal upkeep before the first light autumn frost.
