Callistephus chinensis
Powerful flowers in delicate colors. Magical in bouquets (a bridal bouquet perhaps?) and they last incredibly long .
Whether in the bed or in a pot, the summer aster grows upright.
Change location annually.
My tip: For even more lush flowers, fertilize during the first bloom.
