Summer Asters, Giant Ray Mix

Info: Annual. These popular cut and bed asters exude a lot of elegance. The twisted petals stand up like fine needles, making them graceful. The plants are branched and therefore abundantly blooming. Growth height about 70 cm.

Care: Change the location of the asters annually. Use the same location only every 6 years. The pre-culture should take place in a bright, constantly warm place like a windowsill/greenhouse. Sowing depth about 0.5 - 1 cm. Plant spacing about 20x25 cm. Absolutely avoid waterlogging. Loose humous soil.

Usage: They are excellent, durable cut flowers, but they also stand out in summer flower beds.
