Aster Super Princes produces large, showy blooms in a beautiful mix of warm colours on long, sturdy stems. Flowering from midsummer into early autumn, it's an excellent choice for cutting gardens, where the blooms can be enjoyed just as much indoors as out. Easy to grow and generous with its flowers, this is a variety that brings colour to borders and bouquets alike.
🌸 Flowering: July to September
📏 Height: to 70cm
🌿 Half hardy Annual
Sow: during March and April in pots or modules of seed compost, cover with perlite or vermiculite. Seal in a plastic bag and keep at about 18°C. Germination usually takes 1-2 weeks.
Grow: harden off before planting out after the last frosts, spacing them around 40 to 50cm apart. Grow in a sunny position in well-drained soil and keep watered during prolonged dry spells to encourage a long flowering season.
Enjoy: Whether you're filling borders with colour or cutting armfuls for the house, 'Super Princes' is a rewarding variety that flowers generously through summer. The large blooms, complete with their distinctive crested centres, make a real statement both in the garden and in floral arrangements.
