Aster Milady Pale Pink

Astra Milady Pale Pink – a compact annual growing to about 25 cm in height and width. Bushes form a dense, well-leafed crown covered with large double inflorescences up to 10 cm in diameter. Petals are curled inward, tightly covering the center, giving the flowers a rich and delicate pink hue.

The variety is distinguished by a long and abundant flowering period – from July to the first frost. Astra Milady is resistant to adverse weather conditions and major diseases, so it grows easily both in open ground and in closed conditions. It is perfect for decorating flower beds, borders, balcony boxes, and pots, and is often used as a cut flower.

For growing, a sunny spot on fertile, well-drained soil is recommended. Seeds can be sown directly into the ground or started via seedlings – seeds are covered with a thin layer of soil, and seedlings appear within 5–7 days at a temperature of 18–20 °C. After 2–3 true leaves appear, plants are transplanted and hardened before being planted in open ground. The distance between bushes is 25–30 cm. Astra Milady tolerates transplanting even while in bloom, which makes it convenient for dynamic garden composition design.
