Callistephus 'Dark Blue' Seeds

Callistephus 'Dark Blue' Seeds

   
   
With deeply-coloured double flowers and long stems, this China Aster makes an excellent cut flower. The blooms resemble those of Chrysanthemums, and are particularly decorative in a vase. However, they also grow well in rich soil as part of a sunny border, continuing to produce colour well into the autumn. Suitable for container planting also.

Growing Info:
Start seeds under glass Feb-April. Surface sow in pots or plug trays and keep at 16-18°C for germination. When big enough to handle, transplant seedlings into pots and keep in cooler conditions. Harden off seedlings before planting out at 30cm intervals when frosts have passed. April-May, sow seeds in situ 6mm deep.
Aftercare:
Water well, but take care not to overwater. Keep cutting flowers for more blooms. Stake if necessary. Do not grow in the same post two years in a row to avoid Fusarium Wilt
