Aster Gala Mixed Cut Flower Seeds

Overview

Aster Gala Mixed flowers are 9cm wide fluffy pompoms of curled petals in a range of single colours from purple to cream and blue on a rigid 80cm stem.

Aster Gala makes an ideal filler for any flower arrangement and its long vase life of 10-18 days makes it the perfect cut flower. Looks fantastic in the garden too!

Seed qty (approx)	50
Sowing months	February, March, April, May
Site conditions	Sunny/partial shade, well-drained site.
How to sow	Either sow undercover (Feb-Apr) into a tray of moist compost and lightly cover the seeds with a fine layer of compost. Keep at 15-18°C. Seed will germinate in 7-21 days. When large enough to handle, 'pot on' into small pots. 'Harden off' for a week before final planting out 15-25cm apart. Added protection may be required if frost expected. Alternatively direct sow seed thinly (Apr-May) 6mm deep into well-prepared bed in rows 25cm apart. When seeds are large enough thin to 1 seedling every 25cm.
Care	Water especially in dry periods but do not overwater. Support with netting maybe needed for heavy blooms. Remove faded blooms to prolong flowering.
Flowers	Late July-Sep. Cut stem when 2-3 flowers begin to show colour.
