Easy to grow from seed. Butterflies and bees love these! This is one of the most unique asters with massive discs of light blue surrounding a white center. Great for cutting with sturdy stems and a long vase-life. Grows quickly and does best in moist, well-drained soil. Deadhead to extend the bloom season even longer and keep the flowers coming back. Can be started indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost in winter or can be sown directly into the ground in spring or summer.
