Blooms & Form
Callistephus chinensis, also known as the China Aster, features large, fully double flowers that resemble fluffy, ruffled pom-poms. The King Apricot variety blooms in a soft apricot tone, making it an elegant addition to flower beds and cutting gardens. These long-lasting flowers are perfect for both fresh bouquets and dried arrangements, adding a vintage, romantic feel. The plants themselves grow upright and bushy, providing an abundant display of blooms throughout late summer and into fall.
How to Grow
- When to Plant: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly outdoors after the last frost.
- Where to Plant: A sunny location with well-draining soil is ideal. Asters thrive in full sun for the best blooms.
- Planting Tips: Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist until seedlings emerge.
- Care Tips: Once established, King Apricot Asters are relatively low-maintenance. Water regularly during dry periods, and deadhead spent flowers to encourage new blooms.
King Apricot Asters are perfect for creating a soft, romantic atmosphere in your garden. With their warm, apricot-toned flowers, they are a beautiful addition to your landscape and floral arrangements, offering both beauty and charm from late summer through fall.
