Flowers the same year
Callistephus chinensis 'Pompon Red with White Centre' is a striking annual China Aster producing compact, fully double pompon-style flowers in a distinctive two-tone combination. Rich red outer petals surround a contrasting creamy-white centre, creating neat, rounded blooms with an eye-catching bicoloured appearance.
The upright, branching plants produce numerous flowers on sturdy stems from summer into early autumn. Excellent both in the garden and for cutting, the compact pompon blooms have good vase life and make an unusual addition to bouquets and floral arrangements. Plants are equally attractive in sunny borders, beds and larger containers.
● Distinctive red and creamy-white bicoloured flowers
● Fully double, neatly rounded pompon-style blooms
● Excellent long-lasting cut flower for bouquets and arrangements
● Upright, branching plants produce numerous flowering stems
● Provides vibrant colour from summer into early autumn
● Cut flower gardens
● Summer borders
● Flower beds
● Large patio containers
● Bouquets and floral arrangements
● Start seeds under cover in early spring for the longest flowering season; transplant outdoors only after frost risk has passed.
● Avoid planting China Asters in the same position year after year, as crop rotation helps reduce the risk of soil-borne aster wilt.
● Water at soil level rather than regularly wetting the foliage, and provide good spacing and airflow between plants to help maintain healthy growth.
● Deadhead regularly to keep plants producing fresh flowers throughout summer and into early autumn.
● For cut flowers, harvest stems when the outer petals have started to open; China Asters are valued for their excellent vase life.
