This perennial aster is native to the Southern parts of North America. Long-lived perennial that is great for cut-flower arrangements with blossoms up to 2" across.

Blooms from July to October.

Height: 36", 90cm
Location: Sun or part shade
Seeds per packet: 5
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. Temperature 20-22 °C (68-72 °F) for 4 weeks. They may be growing at this point. 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 stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
