Yaskrava

Eclat is an annual aster grown from seeds that germinates quickly (3–7 days) and begins to bloom a couple of months after sowing. The plant reaches a height of 50–70 cm, has compact bushes that take up little space, yet possesses sturdy stems and strong wind resistance.

Eclat flowers are distinguished by large inflorescences up to 10–12 cm in diameter. They resemble blooming rose buds and come in saturated shades of white, purple, pink, burgundy, and yellow. Blooming lasts from 40 to 45 days, peaking from July to September. Meanwhile, the plant tolerates cold well, enduring frost down to –3 °C.

For successful cultivation, choose sunny spots with fertile soil for asters. Seeds can be sown in spring; with proper care (regular watering and moderate fertilization), the plant develops rapidly and delights gardeners with bright flowers suitable for both flower beds and cutting for vases.
