Wetsel Seed™ Crego Mixed Aster Seed

Large distinctive flowers with long, gracefully curled ribbon-like petals in a gorgeous range of colors are produced on long, strong stems. Beautiful in the garden and one of the most popular cut flowers for long-lasting bouquets. The easy-to-grow upright plants will continue to bloom throughout the summer. Excellent in borders, rock gardens and containers.

When and where to plant: Select a sunny location (tolerates light shade) and plant outdoors in rich, well-drained soil after all danger of frost is past. For earlier blossoms, start indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. For successive blooms, plant at two week intervals.

Care: Cultivate soil and firm over seed, keeping it moist. Store seed in a cool, dry place. Heat and moisture can severely reduce germination.
