Description

Callistephus chinensis Annual Aster

Palm-sized, pale buttermilk blooms of this striking variety are unreal. See a short video!

Flower petals are long & pointed & as blooms are opening the centre petals are swirled. These beautiful and durable flowers hold up well in both the garden and the vase on long, strong stems.

As the day length shortens, this group of plants is prompted to begin flowering, sure something I look forward to in the late summer! All the elegance and beauty of peonies and garden mums in an easy-to-grow annual. 

Start seed indoors in trays 6-8 weeks before last frost; transplant out after all danger of frost has passed. Don’t bury seeds too deeply; lightly cover with soil or vermiculite.
Harvest when the outer petals on the flowers begin to open. Immediately after harvest, strip foliage off the lower half of the stem and place into water. With flower food, expect a vase life of up to 2 weeks
annual, 24-32”, full sun, Days to maturity: 110-120 days, Plant spacing: 9-12”, Pinch: not necessary

Approx seeds per packet: 50

Celosia argentea spicata -MIX
Celosia argentea spicata -MIX
Celosia is a genus of edible and ornamental annual or short-lived perennial (zones 9-11) grown as an ornamental for its distinctive, erect flower spikes sort of reminiscent of a sheaf of wheat that give it the common name of wheat celosia. Grown for their unique, textural blooms, celosias are vigorous and free flowering. Easy to grow plants. Brilliant colours in a range of reds, pinks, orange, salmon, yellow and cream. I originally received this seed called C. 'Pampas Plume' but I do not think it is. It seems more to me a "C. spicata' so have named it such. The pictures are mine and exactly what this mix looks like. See more below:

Amaranth ‘Emerald Tassels’
Amaranth ‘Emerald Tassels’
(Amaranthus caudatus) Long ropes of lime-green, trailing tassels add texture and combine beautifully with both bright and pastel colour palettes. Amaranth is easy to grow and is a great choice for beginning gardeners.

Fantastic colour and texture for fresh bouquets or large containers, gorgeous in wedding bouquets! When dried, the blooms turn from green to a light tan colour that works well in fall arrangements. Common names include amaranth and tassel flower. Fresh or dried cut flower, back of bed, accent in borders, and containers.
