Notes
'Tower Salmon' aster (Callistephus chinensis 'Tower Salmon') 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 and has an erect habit. The peony-type blooms are pink and salmon, and butterflies and bees visit them.
Pairs well with Double Zahara Fire zinnia, Red fescue, and Charm peony.
