Callistephus chinensis
New in the cottage garden! The summer asters have moved in.
What a joy I had with them this summer.
Ideal cut flowers because they last incredibly long in the vase and have a very upright growth.
Large flowers that darken over time. Beautiful in beds and pots.
My tip: Change the location every year. For even more lush flowers, fertilize during the first blooms.
