Sashenka Aster is an annual plant known for its beautiful and abundant flowering. The bush reaches a height of 65–70 cm, making it an excellent choice for the center of floral compositions and flower beds. The leaves are dark green, serrated, and located on sturdy stems, ensuring the plant's stability even in windy weather. The flowers are snow white with thin, needle-like petals, about 10–12 cm in diameter, creating a delicate and elegant look that is especially valued in wedding and festive bouquets.
Sashenka Aster prefers sunny spots with well-fertilized soil, which promotes its active growth and prolonged flowering. Blooming begins in July and continues until September, with 10 to 20 large buds opening simultaneously on one bush. The petals maintain freshness and an attractive appearance for about two weeks, making this aster ideal for cutting and creating long-lasting floral compositions.
The plant is highly resistant to unfavorable conditions: it withstands minor frosts down to -3°C and is distinguished by its resistance to diseases and pests. Seeds are sown in April, allowing for strong and healthy plants by the beginning of summer. Due to its decorative qualities and reliability, Sashenka aster is widely used for decorating flower beds, alpine slides, and park areas, as well as for creating exquisite bouquets.
