Organic Aster «Ofelia»
"Ofelia" peony-flowered aster (Callistephus chinensis) is an attractive plant that would work in many garden arrangements. This annual plant grows 60 - 80 cm tall. Its large inflorescences resemble peony flowers.
Large, round inflorescences that take on bright, dark pink colour, will bring joy to your borders. This species is valued for an extremely long blooming period, lasting all summer long until first autumn frosts. This is a perfect plant for cut flowers, because its blooms retain their looks after being cut for even two weeks. You will have steady access to fresh flowers for summer bouquets thanks to the peony asters.
Aster seeds are sown early in spring under covers or in a warm and bright room. Seedlings are transplanted to garden borders no earlier than in the second half of May, because asters are sensitive to frosts. This is also the right time to sow aster seeds directly to the field. Choose a sunny and sheltered site for their cultures. Provide them with a moderately moist, permeable soil rich in nutrients.
