Oksana

Astra "Oksana" is an annual plant with a columnar shape and branched structure. It reaches a height of 40–65 cm, with a clump diameter of 35–46 cm, making it medium-sized for garden compositions. The buds are sturdy, with a stem length of 30–40 cm, and the inflorescences themselves are about 12–16 cm in diameter, usually double and half-round.

The flowers are a bright pink shade with a silver sheen. At the peak of flowering (from August to September), the clump is covered with dense inflorescences, creating an effective visual accent in flowerbeds, garden plots, and when decorating rizomas.

The variety is drought-resistant but not frost-hardy. It is light-loving, prefers open areas with good lighting, but does not tolerate strong shade. Thanks to its compact growth and resistance to adverse weather conditions, "Oksana" is suitable for a wide audience of gardeners – from lovers of decorative plants to professional landscape designers.

The planting material is seeds, which are easy to grow at home. The plant quickly gains height and starts flowering already in the first season, making it a popular choice for those who want to quickly decorate their garden or vegetable garden.
