Dwarf aster "Skrzat" (Callistephus chinensis) is an intriguing proposal for sunny borders. These small plants that form compact and bushy habit grow 20 - 25 cm tall. "Skrzat" is an extremely early variety, whose blooms develop all summer long until autumn. Double inflorescences take on a charming pink colour and will complement different garden arrangements. This variety thrives at lower borders and flower beds and may also be planted in rock gardens. Lower growing asters are perfect for cultivation in containers, where they make for a great decoration of a sunny balcony or terrace.

Aster seedlings should be prepared in early spring under covers. Sow seeds to boxes or seeding trays filled with light and permeable soil. Transfer the seedlings outside no earlier than mid-May, because young plants are sensitive to frost. At that time you may also sow aster seeds directly to the ground. Dwarf asters thrive in full sun, but may also grow in partial shade. Moderately moist, well drained soil rich in nutrients provides the best possible conditions for the development of this species.
