CALLISTEPHUS SEEDS

The Callistephus genus, commonly known as China Aster, is a vibrant member of the Asteraceae family. These annual plants are admired for their large, daisy-like flowers in a wide range of colours, including pink, purple, white, and red, with some varieties featuring intricate double or semi-double blooms. Callistephus adds a burst of seasonal colour to borders, cutting gardens, and containers.

Native to East Asia, Callistephus thrives in well-drained, fertile soils and sunny locations. These plants bloom in late summer and autumn, providing a showy display when other garden flowers begin to fade. The species Callistephus chinensis is the sole member of the genus and has been cultivated extensively, offering numerous hybrids and cultivars prized for their long-lasting, vibrant blooms.

The Callistephus genus combines ornamental beauty with versatility, making it a popular choice for gardeners seeking to create colourful, late-season displays or stunning floral arrangements.
