Product Description
A lovely old-fashioned flower, Aster Milady produces big incurved flowers, like traditional bloom chrysanthemums, in a lovely pastel mix of blues, purples, pinks, reds, and whites. Very weather tolerant and wilt resistant, this series is a real winner for pots, tubs and windowboxes, and with dead-heading will flower right on into the Autumn too!

Plant Information
Care Guide
Ideal for getting ahead of the game, these are trays of small plants that can be planted into pots straight away, but will need growing on for 4-5 weeks before planting out.
- When potting on (“pricking out”), handle plugs carefully.
- For plug plants in trays, push them out using a suitable small instrument through the hole in the bottom of each cell – e.g. a “dibber” or a pencil.
- Pot on using our Windowsill planters or 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays, using good multi-purpose compost.
- Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry - they don’t like to be left in standing water.
