Notes
Soufflé Light Pink aster (Callistephus chinensis Soufflé Light Pink) 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 is an early variety with the softest pale pink blooms. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and the erect stems reach 28 to 36 inches tall.
Pairs well with Wave Purple Classic petunia, Double Zahara Cherry zinnia, and Red fescue.
