Aster dwarf 'Pinocchio' mixed

300 seeds

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Lightly press seeds into moist, well-draining seed-starting mix, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil at 65-70°F (18-21°C) and maintain consistent moisture. Germination typically takes 7-14 days. Once seedlings are large enough and outdoor temperatures are warm, transplant them to a sunny location with well-draining, fertile soil. Space plants 6-8 inches apart to allow for proper growth. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer to support healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued flowering. These compact asters thrive in full sun and add colorful blooms to gardens throughout the season.
