Why Choose Aster - Tall China Mix

  • Height and Impact: With its tall growth habit, the 'Tall China Mix' is perfect for creating dramatic vertical accents in your garden.
  • Vibrant Color Mix: This variety features a rich blend of colors, including pink, purple, red, and white, providing a colorful display that lasts throughout the fall season.
  • Long-Lasting Blooms: Known for blooming late in the season, these asters bring color when many other plants have already finished flowering.
  • Attracts Pollinators: The vibrant flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, making it a great addition to pollinator-friendly gardens.
  • Perfect for Cut Flowers: The tall, sturdy stems make 'Tall China Mix' asters ideal for cutting and creating beautiful floral arrangements for indoor displays.

How to Grow and Care for Aster - Tall China Mix

  • Planting: Choose a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil for planting your asters. Space the plants about 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and growth. These asters thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.
  • Watering: Keep the soil moderately moist, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
  • Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring to support strong growth. A light feeding during the growing season can promote more abundant blooms.
  • Pruning: Deadhead the spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent the plant from expending energy on seed production. In late fall, after blooming, cut the plants back to about 6-8 inches from the ground to maintain a tidy appearance.
  • Winter Care: Mulch around the base of the plants in late fall to protect the roots from winter frost. Asters are hardy, but mulching can help prevent winter damage, especially in colder climates.
