How To Grow
GROWER TIP: China Asters are not a fan of being transplanted, but if started indoors, sow in CowPots to prevent root shock. Transplant or direct sow when temperatures are above 65F. Before your Asters begin to bloom, pinch them back by clipping the bud at the lower node above the other branches. This will multiply your blooms.
