Anastasiia

Anastasiia is a popular annual aster, compact and upright, reaching a height of 50–60 cm. The medium-sized flowers reach up to 10 cm in diameter and have a distinct blue-violet color.

The flowering period begins in mid-August and continues until the onset of cold weather. Seeds are sown in March–April in a greenhouse or polytunnel, or directly into the ground in April–May. At a temperature of 18–21 °C, seedlings appear within 10–15 days.

The plant prefers well-lit areas with fertile soil and a light-loving microclimate. Thanks to its compactness and bright colors, Anastasiia is widely used in group plantings, for cuttings, and in decorative flower beds.
