China Aster, Tiger Paw Aster
The colourful China asters are impressive with their densely filled blossoms, reminiscent of chrysanthemums. They are resistant to rain, free flowering, have long stems and are therefore ideal for summer and autumn flower arrangements. To prevent the aster wilt disease the growing site should change each year. Ideal for cut flower growers.
