China Aster ‘Paeoniflowered Mixed’
Botanical Name: Callistephus chinensis
Type: Half-Hardy Annual

China Aster ‘Paeoniflowered Mixed’ is a classic, much-loved variety producing large, double, peony-like blooms in a brilliant mix of colours — including pink, purple, red, white, and lilac. Each flower is beautifully formed with dense layers of soft petals, making them ideal for cutting, bouquets, and late-summer garden displays. Strong, upright plants provide a long-lasting show of colour that continues right through to autumn, brightening beds, borders, and containers alike.
