Dragon

Astra Dragon Pink is an annual plant with a stem height of 65 to 75 cm and a bush diameter of 25-30 cm, featuring a columnar shape. The semi-spherical inflorescences, with a diameter of 12-15 cm, are characterized by a high degree of fullness and a delicate white-pink hue, giving the flower special decorative appeal and attractiveness.

This variety is distinguished by a long flowering period, lasting up to 50 days without loss of decorative qualities. It takes approximately 100-115 days from sowing to the beginning of flowering. The astra is sun-loving, matures quickly, and blooms abundantly with regular watering and proper care. The plant is resistant to most floral diseases, which facilitates its cultivation.

For planting, well-dug soil enriched with mineral fertilizers and organic additives such as compost or ash is recommended. Seeds are sown at a depth of about 5 cm at a distance of about 30 cm between them. Sowing can be carried out from March to May, depending on the desired flowering time, as well as in autumn, leaving seeds in the ground over winter. To accelerate flowering, seedling cultivation from seeds is possible. The plant requires a sunny location and regular watering considering the rate of moisture absorption, as well as several feedings during the growth period.
