Description
Callistephus chinensis
Creamy salmony- peachy-pink, 2–3″ peony-type blooms perfect for flower arranging and wedding work. 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

Tower Chamois Apricot was a wonderful addition to my garden in 2023. All seeds germinated and the plants bloomed beautifully. Aster Moonstone was also excellent.
