Notes
'Macaroon White' aster (Callistephus chinensis 'Macaroon White') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows fast on erect stems that reach 32 to 38 inches tall. The early, pom-pom type blooms attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Double Zahara Fire zinnia, Red fescue, and Charm peony.
