Notes
'King Size Pink' aster (Callistephus chinensis 'King Size Pink') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and stands erect, so it makes a tidy backdrop. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Supertunia Royal Velvet petunia, Zahara Starlight Rose zinnia, and Red fescue.
