Description
A wonderful China aster cultivar with gorgeous double flowers atop tall stems. This cottage garden classic produces showy 3–5-inch blooms in a vibrant mix of colors, accented by creamy centers from early summer through fall. The profusion of long-lasting flowers makes an excellent choice for fresh-cut bouquets, tall borders, and garden beds. Beloved by Thomas Jefferson, China Aster was grown at Monticello, as well as in many other early American gardens. Easy to grow from seed and ideal for succession planting to extend the bloom season.
