    Customer photo review of China Aster Seeds - Powderpuff Mix

    China Aster is tricky to start, I try every trick under de moon!! Finally after years I managed to have good results, I started them under the lights inside in May… this was the last ones because too long inside they get stacked by bugs, too late they get too short and tiny blooms, i sowed them in little tranches and cover with little soil and when they start growing I give them soil little by little just enough to cover the roots.. I wait till they get true leaves and I place them in the greenhouse.

    I got maybe five plants from the entire packet. I didn’t expect the to be so late…didn’t bloom until September. The plants were much smaller than expected… no larger than a foot tall. Blooms didn’t last… a couple of days.. after spending so much time concerned about these, they massively under produced. What I did get was underwhelming. Not sure I’d grow these again. Certainly wouldn’t get seeds from here again. Same goes for all the other seeds bought here.
