Aster (Callistephus Tall Needle Unicom Mix) - A mix of needle flowered asters is a sure garden delight! Aster flowers will grow well in average soils, but requires sun to partial shade. Asters come in many heights, shapes, and colors and this mix has a vast array of brilliant colors. This needle aster grows approximately 24 inches tall from flower seeds and has a bright, brilliant color mix.
Aster seeds can also be directly seeded into your flower garden, or seeded indoors for transplanting later. Many people like to get a jump start on their flower garden so they plant Aster flower seeds in pots and containers indoors, then transplant the seedlings outdoors in early spring. This allows you to make the proper spacing and get earlier blooms. Sow this mix of Aster flower seeds in early in the season when temperatures are warm, and cover lightly with soil. They germinate easily and will grow quickly, producing their first of a continual display of mixed blooms by early summer.
