Aster Bonita Mix

Unleash Rich Colors and Full Blooms with Aster Bonita Mix Seeds

Elevate your garden and floral arrangements with our exquisite Aster Bonita Mix seeds. This stunning new  Aster mixture offers gorgeous, fully double pompon flowers that boast rich, vibrant color throughout each entire bloom. From the delicate centers to the outer petals, you’ll be captivated by a delightful palette including blue, light blue, pink, rose, scarlet, and pristine white.

Aster Bonita Mix ensures a continuous display of its charming, spherical flowers throughout the entire season. While blooming approximately one week later than the Matsumoto series, its strong fusarium tolerance is a significant advantage, providing healthier, more robust plants and a more reliable harvest. Aster Bonita Mix reaches an impressive height of 24-30 inches with a spread of 10-12 inches, making them perfect for adding vertical interest to garden beds and borders. For cut flower growers, removing the main flower bud during production will strengthen stems and significantly improve the quality and length of your cut blooms, ensuring long-lasting beauty in your vases.

Detailed Sowing & Care Instructions:

1. Direct Sowing: Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring after the danger of frost has passed. Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil.
2. Planting Depth: Lightly cover seeds with soil (Germination Lighting: Lightly Cover Seed).
3. Germination: Maintain soil temperature between 21-24°C. Seedlings should emerge in 8-10 days.
4. Thinning: Once seedlings are established, thin them to 10-12 inches apart to allow for optimal growth and air circulation.

6. Pinching for Cuts: For stronger stems and improved cutting quality, remove the main (terminal) flower bud during production. This encourages lateral branching and more blooms.
