The Altair Star aster is an annual plant with blue-violet flowers, reaching a height of 60-70 cm. This ornamental variety is distinguished by its bright coloration and decorativeness, making it a popular choice for creating bouquets, decorating flower beds, and group plantings. Blooming begins in August and continues until October, ensuring a long period of decorative effect.
For successful cultivation, Altair Star prefers sunny areas with limestone-rich soils. In southern regions, seeds are sown directly into the open ground from mid-March to May, while in more northern areas, it is recommended to first grow seedlings from March to April. Seeds are sown at a depth of 1-1.5 cm. Seedlings are planted at an age of 45-50 days at an air temperature of 16-18 degrees, which contributes to good rooting and plant development.
This aster variety is suitable for growing both in home gardens and indoors. Thanks to its low-maintenance nature and decorative qualities, Altair Star will be an excellent choice for gardeners and flower lovers who wish to decorate their garden with bright and eye-catching flowers.
