Callistephus chinensis

THE aster variety with the perfect shades, in our opinion. Its charm is hard to beat, and its presence leaves no one indifferent. Each plant can have up to a dozen stems topped with ruffled flowers. The petals are slightly curved, and the flowers hold up very well both in the garden and in a vase.

Packaging is in French only. Please refer to our website for full details.
