Aster novi-belgii seeds

Description

These are new variations of the old New York Aster, especially bred for group plantings. The colours range from white through pink and  purple to blue. They flower in autumn when there is little other colour in the flower garden and the bees and other beneficial insects love them.
They will flower in their first year from seed, about 3.5 months after germination. A pink-purple flower is pictured

Sowing advice
Sow the seed onto moist seed raising mix, in pots or trays. Keep at 20 deg C and ensure they are kept moist. They should germinate in 10 -20 days.
