The tall needle-petal aster "Walentyna" (Callistephus chinensis) is a variety producing nicely coloured pink blooms. The single ray flowers curl, making the inflorescence look like it would have consisted of thousands of thin needles. This charming plant is definitely worth your attention. If you decide to plant it in your garden, you will enjoy its flowers all summer long, until the first frosts. They will adorn not only garden borders, but your home interiors, too. Needle petal asters are perfect cut flowers - they retain their freshness in vases for up to two weeks.

The aster seeds offered in our store should be sown to covered boxes or seeding trays in early spring, or in the middle of spring directly onto the field. Asters are not frost-resistant, so you could only transplant the seedlings after the risk of frosts is gone. The tall needle-petal aster "Walentyna" is an ideal plant for sunny or partially shady sites. You should provide it with a permeable soil that is rich in nutrients. Please make sure it stays moderately moist all summer long.
