Light Purple Aster Flower Seeds are used for planting aster flowers, a popular perennial flowering plant that produces clusters of daisy-like flowers in a variety of colors, including light purple. The flowers have a yellow center and several layers of thin petals that surround it.
Highlights:- Type: Blooming Plants
- Full-bloom Period: Spring
- Number Of Seeds: 100 seeds
- Soil requirements: Asters prefer well-drained, loamy soil with a pH level between 5.8 and 6.5. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: Asters thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal blooming.
- Watering requirements: Asters require moderate watering. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply once a week, and more frequently during dry spells.
- Planting season: The best time to plant aster seeds is in the spring after the last frost, or in the fall for a late bloom.
- Depth and spacing: Plant aster seeds at a depth of 1/8 inch. Space the seeds about 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
- Germination time: Aster seeds typically germinate within 7 to 14 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Asters usually reach maturity and begin to bloom within 90 to 120 days after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest aster flowers is early in the morning when the blooms are fully open and the temperatures are cooler.
- Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the flowers. Place the cut stems in water immediately to keep them fresh. For seed saving, allow the flowers to dry on the plant and collect the seeds once they are fully mature and dry.
