Aster ‘Blue Ribbon’
Botanical Name: Callistephus chinensis
Type: Half-Hardy Annual

Aster ‘Blue Ribbon’ is a striking variety known for its rich lavender-blue blooms with a full, layered petal structure and a classic daisy-like form. Blooming from late summer into autumn, it adds vibrant cool tones just as other flowers begin to fade. The tall, upright plants make it ideal for cut flowers, borders, and late-season displays. Easy to grow and resistant to wilting, this variety thrives in sunny, well-drained beds and performs especially well in cutting gardens.
