Astra Krallen Barney

An annual plant. Magnificent cut series with a new flower shape. Petals are characteristically bent and twisted inside the rosette. The strong and long stems and the excellent keeping of these flowers make this group indispensable for cutting. Inflorescences are large, 8-12 cm in diameter. The plant is photophilous, cold-resistant (it can endure frosts of -3-4°C). Prefer loose nutrient soils. During the dry period, they need watering. Normal care - weeding, careful loosening, 2-3 fertilizing with mineral fertilizers. Seeds for seedlings are sown in late March-early April. Shoots appear on the 7-14th day. When the first true leaf appears, the seedlings dive. If the hypocotyl knee of the seedlings is very extended, then when picking, they can be deepened almost to the cotyledon leaves. Seedlings can be planted in open ground from mid-May. Spring and winter sowing in the ground is possible.

In landscaping, asters are used very widely. They are planted in flowerbeds, discounts, mixborders, in groups.
