Aster 'Rudolph Goethe' amellus
ASTER
SKU: 1633-10
Description
Lavender-blue flowers on compact and tidy plants. Aster are very easy to grow and tolerate dry soils once established. They are absolutely loved by butterflies and bees, and the plants are often covered in them!
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 16", 40cm
Location: Sun or part sun
Hardiness zones: 5-8
Seeds per pack: 10
Note: Ornamental use only. May be poisonous.
Germination: Start these seeds right away for best germination rates. Start indoors. Your planting container should have holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. These seeds require light to germinate. Sow the seeds on surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Do not bury the seeds. Leave them at room temperature (20-22 °C, 68-72 °F) for 4 weeks. If they have not germinated after 4 weeks then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 4 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-60 days after the warming period, though some will take longer.
