Aster flowers are excellent for tall borders or beds. If you want a profusion of brilliant blooms for a long lasting flower bouquet, China Asters are an excellent choice. The easy-to-grow upright plants will continue to bloom throughout the summer. Aster plants prefer a sunny location; however, they will tolerate light shade. Sow Callistephus Chinensis seeds outdoors in rich, well-drained soil after all danger of frost is passed. For earlier blossoms, start flower seed indoors 6 - 8 weeks before last frost. For successive blooms, plant these flower seeds at 2 week intervals.
