Aster Gala Mixed Cut Flower Seeds |
|
Aster Gala Mixed flowers are 9cm wide fluffy pompoms of curled petals in a range of single colours from purple to cream and blue on a rigid 80cm stem.
Aster Gala makes an ideal filler for any flower arrangement and its long vase life of 10-18 days makes it the perfect cut flower. Looks fantastic in the garden too!
Approx 50 seeds per pack.

How:
|
Either sow undercover (Feb-Apr) into a tray of moist compost and lightly cover the seeds with a fine layer of compost. Keep at 15-18°C. Seed will germinate in 7-21 days. When large enough to handle, 'pot on' into small pots. 'Harden off' for a week before final planting out 15-25cm apart. Added protection may be required if frost expected.
Alternatively direct sow seed thinly (Apr-May) 6mm deep into well-prepared bed in rows 25cm apart. When seeds are large enough thin to 1 seedling every 25cm.
