Aster, ‘Duchesse Mix’  ORGANIC

Similar to the Tower Mix, Duchesse Mix is a peony-petaled china aster.  Petals delicately cup inwards towards the center of the flower and are like chrysanthemums with colors ranging from white to cream, rose, magenta, and steel purple.  Each plant is heavy with numerous long-lasting blooms, such that plants are best supported with horizontal netting.  Grown by SSF.
