Aster 'Duchess Mixed'

Growing into impressive Chrysanthemum-like flowers, this pack of mixed Aster Duchess seeds produces a colourful show of flowers from June to September in shades of purple, pink, yellow, white, and red. The double flowers boast thick petals that curve inwards, creating a fabulous shape that makes Aster a popular choice for an indoor cut flower display.

These half-hardy annuals are easy to grow and look after. Sow Aster seeds in a warm place from March to April and harden seedlings gradually before planting them out from May, when the risk frost has passed. Allow 30cm between plants and position in full sun in well-draining soil, providing a support if necessary. Deadhead spent blooms, or cut flowers for a vase, regularly to prolong the flowering period.
