Andrella Giant Mix Aster Seeds

Andrella Giant Mix Aster is an outstanding blend of giant-flowered China Asters that produces enormous, fully double blooms in a spectacular range of colors. The flowers resemble large chrysanthemums, with densely packed petals forming impressive blooms in shades of pink, rose, lavender, purple, blue, crimson, scarlet, white, and soft pastel tones. The combination of huge flowers, strong stems, and exceptional color diversity makes this one of the finest aster mixtures available for both garden display and cut flower production.

Throughout late summer and into fall, plants become covered with magnificent blooms that create a dazzling show of color. The large flowers stand proudly above the foliage, providing a display that rivals many florist-grown flowers while attracting pollinators and producing armloads of bouquet-quality stems.

Growing Information

Andrella Giant Mix thrives in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Plants typically reach 24 to 36 inches in height and develop strong stems capable of supporting their exceptionally large blooms. Good air circulation and regular watering help maintain healthy growth and maximize flower size.
