Aster Alpinus - Formula Color Mix - This mix will dazzle any area you choose to plant them. They produce gorgeous hues of blue, white, and pale lavender with a distinctive contrasted gold / yellow center. Since they do well in a dryer soil, they will make a beautiful rock or gravel garden. If planted in a hot and humid area it is important to spread mulch or peat moss around roots for protection from heat. Water according to weather conditions, and remove faded flowers to prevent disease and promote continued blooms. Another important tip to remember is to thin the plants out to ensure adequate air circulation that helps with diseases, promotes plant vigor, and prevents over running to the neighboring flowers. Popular uses are ground cover, rock gardens, and cut flowers. Blooming May-June. Great for containers as well.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
