About this seed
Why gardeners choose this variety
Ornamental Indian aster (Kalimeris indica), known in Chinese as ma lan, is a perennial member of the daisy family. Branching stems carry small flower heads with pale violet to whitish rays around yellow centers. Its leafy growth and airy flowers create a relaxed, naturalistic outline.
A familiar plant in East Asian landscapes, ma lan brings the character of meadow flowers to a mixed perennial border. Plant it among grasses or broader-leaved perennials to highlight the finer flower stems. Repeated groups can connect a planting visually while leaving the individual daisy heads easy to enjoy.
