A dazzling carpet of colour with these double-flowered, dwarf Asters. So useful for edging, tubs and window boxes. A half hardy annual, flowering the same year, in sun or partial shade.
When to plant: Early Spring to early Summer How to grow: Sow 0.5in (1.5cm) deep in flowering position. Keep moist until established. Thin out to 8in (20cm) apart. Remove dead flowers to prolong flowering season.
Alternatively, sow 0.25in (0.5cm) deep in trays of seed compost at 15-20C (60-68F). Keep moist. Thin (prick out) seedlings to prevent overcrowding. Harden off and plant out in October. Flowers: Mid Summer to Early Autumn
