Aster Pompom Mixed Colours offers a wide range of colours perfect for the cutting garden. This early blooming variety produces large blooms that look more like a Chrysanthemum than an Aster, with their masses of incurved petals, but early blooming season and ease of care sets them apart.
They flower with glorious, large blooms in a good colour range, with the blooms opening up to 8cm in diameter and the sturdy stems reach around 90cm tall. Drought and heat tolerant, easy to grow and maintain, this vigorous variety is a good performer in challenging growing conditions, even the wet.
From sowing to flowering takes just 90 days. Plant successively over several weeks to stretch out your flowering season.
Asters are perfect for today’s specialty florists, cut-flower farms and farmers markets. The large blooms with very long, strong stems are showy without being garish. In a bouquet they are very adaptable can be used as either a focal or secondary flower and are ideal for wedding work, summer bouquets and for any event.
