Lady Coral Lavender China Aster Seed
Lady Coral Lavender China Aster Seed
Uncommon beauty.
The unique, captivating color of Lady Coral Lavender is simply indescribable — you have to see it to believe it. A favorite in our trials and reminiscent of the silvery full moon, her lilac-taupe petals are tightly packed into 2 1/2–3 1/2" blooms. A bit later to bloom than our other China asters. Ht. 24–30". Avg. 16,500 seeds/oz. Packet: 50 seeds.
SOWING: Transplant (recommended) - Sow 1/8" deep into 72-cell flats, or preferred seedling container, 6-8 weeks before planting out. Heat and reduced daylength initiate flowering. Establish plantings early to avoid short stems. Direct seed - Once soil temperature is 65-70°F (18-21°C). Provide support. Row cover or insect netting helps prevent the spread of Aster Yellows Virus by leafhoppers. Pinching not required.
