NAINA

The Naina aster is an annual plant with large thistle-like flower heads in a warm salmon hue, creating an airy volume and giving the flower an elegant appearance. The plant reaches a height of 60-75 cm, the bush is columnar and sturdy, with up to 10-13 large flat-round double flowers with a diameter of 10-14 cm forming simultaneously. Narrow, long ray florets, rolled into tubes, resemble needles and have a delicate cream-pink hue, which makes the variety especially attractive for decorative use.

This variety belongs to the group of needle asters with a medium flowering period, which lasts from July to October. Plants are light-loving, prefer well-lit and wind-protected areas with drained, neutral or slightly warming soil. The Naina aster has medium drought resistance and good cold hardiness, and does not require winter cover. Sowing seeds is recommended in March-April for seedlings with a planting depth of 0.5-1 cm, and transplanting into the ground in May-June.

The main application of the Naina variety is cutting and garden design. Thanks to the large and effective flower heads, the aster is perfect for creating flower beds, rabattok and mixborders, as well as for group and individual plantings. The plant is almost not affected by fusarium, which increases its resistance and decorative value in the garden. Seed material is produced in Ukraine by the company «Flora Market».
