Notes
'Tower Yellow' aster (Callistephus chinensis 'Tower Yellow') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The yellow blooms are peony-type and open in early to late summer. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers, and the plant grows fast.
Pairs well with Supertunia Really Red petunia, Red fescue, and Painted Lady sweet pea.
