Notes
'Azumi XL Rose' aster (Callistephus chinensis 'Azumi XL Rose') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and stands erect, reaching 28 to 36 inches tall. Rose and cream blooms attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Double Zahara Fire zinnia, Supertunia Bordeaux petunia, and Red fescue.
