Aster
King Size Apricot

The China Aster is celebrated for its vibrant late-season blooms and this particular variety stands out for its hard-to-find peachy-pink hue, transitioning gracefully from pale yellow to a deeper pink as it matures. These dynamic flowers start out small and simply explode in size as they fully open.

This annual is a favorite among cut flower farmers and florists as it produces long-lasting blooms on sturdy stems, making it an excellent choice as a cut. With proper care, the flowers offer a long vase life. Growing China Asters can come with challenges so use row covers if needed and ensure good air circulation around the plants. Staking may also be required to support their growth.
