Chinese Aster Lady Coral (Callistephus chinensis Lady Coral) is a tall plant with a regular pyramidal bush shape and sturdy shoots reaching a height of 60-80 cm. The inflorescences of this series are densely double, spherical, with a diameter of 10 to 15 cm, with exceptional petal density, giving the flowers a unique look, resembling both a rose and a chrysanthemum at the same time. Coral-colored flowers are strong and resistant to damage, such as rain, making them particularly valuable for cutting and decorative design.
The plant has a powerful root system that ensures resistance to lodging and responds well to fertilization, which facilitates care and enhances ornamental value. Seeds are sown for seedlings in March-April, transplanted when 2-3 true leaves appear according to the 5x5 scheme, and planted in open ground in mid-May. In the non-seedling method, sowing is done early in spring or under winter. Flowering occurs in August-September, and flowers retain freshness and attractiveness in cut form for a long time.
This asters selection series combines the quality and durability of chrysanthemum with the elegance and charm of asters, making it in demand both for professional cultivation for cutting and for decorating suburban plots. High ornamental value, sturdy flowers and ease of care make Lady Coral an excellent choice for gardeners and florists.
