Notes
'King Size White' aster (Callistephus chinensis 'King Size White') 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 upright, so it fills a bed quickly. Bees and butterflies visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Double Click Rose Bon Bon cosmos, Supertunia Vista Silverberry petunia, and Red fescue.
