Notes
'Tower White' aster (Callistephus chinensis 'Tower White') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. 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. Its white, peony-type blooms open from early to late summer and again from early to late autumn. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers.
