Aster, Tower Chamois (110 days)  Callistephus chinensis  A soft, creamy pink/peach china aster with lush layers of slightly involute petals-  there’s hardly a more delicious aster in the field!  Aptly described as a “peony” aster because of all those cupped, incurved petals, and highly coveted when in bloom.  Plant this aster in succession as flowers are at their prime for just a couple short weeks.  My all-time-favorite color of aster as it can look good with just about any other flower in bouquets.  Pinch and trellis.  An annual reaching 30”.  Best spaced 9-12” apart.  SSF.  Packet- (~70 seeds, 1/4g)...
