Aster (Callistephus Tall Paeony Duchess Apricot) - What a rewarding experience to grow these spectacular annuals from Aster seeds! These Paeony Duchess Asters are breathtaking, and this soft apricot colored flower is the perfect addition to the cutting garden. These Aster flowers are very large with double incurved petals. They resemble chrysanthemums that bloom in the fall, but Asters bloom many weeks before. The Aster plants have an upright growth habit and have 5 to 8 floral stems. This variety makes exceptional cut flowers with long stems and showy blooms that have a long vase-life.
Aster Callistephus seeds can be started indoor in the early spring. The flower seeds should be pressed into the soil and lightly covered. Maintain moisture so that the Aster seeds will not dry out. Harden off the Aster plants for 10 - 14 days before planting out once temperatures are consistently warm. This annuals like a position in full sun to partial shade.
