One of the best dwarf Asters! Intriguing spider-like flowers smother compact basal branched plants in attractive shades of blue, purple, scarlet and rose. Early to flower, adding a colourful display to borders or patio containers over a long flowering period. Height: 20cm (8in).

Sowing Instructions:
  • Sow February to April.
  • Sow seed on the surface of a good, free-draining, damp, seed compost.
  • Cover the seed with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and place at a temperature of 20-25C (68-77F) until after germination which usually takes 7-21 days.
  • Do not exclude light, as this helps germination.

    Growing Instructions:
  • Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots.
  • Gradually acclimatise plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 15-20cm (6-8in) apart.
