Information

A beauty we really want to share with you. Wonderful as a cut flower. The flowers are 10 cm large, dense, fluffy and white. The vase life is long and the whole plant smells faintly sweet and delicious! Our large-flowered white aster belongs to the group of Chinese asters, prinova, which is characterized by large double flowers in all its colors with a yellow center before they have fully opened. Even though it has long, sturdy stems, we recommend that you at least be prepared to support the many large flowers. Remember not to grow asters in the same place year after year to reduce the risk of fusarium wilt.

NOTE! The seeds are grown responsibly without pesticides and artificial fertilizers and in a cultivation that is in transition to become organically certified. Conversion to an organically certified cultivation takes 2 years and seeds harvested during that time are classified as "conventional" in year 1 and "under conversion" in year 2.

One portion contains about 50 seeds.
