Growing Instructions

Planting Season: Sow seeds indoors several weeks before the last expected frost or direct sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Sowing: Prepare a fine, weed-free seedbed or use a quality seed-starting mix. Sow seeds shallowly and keep the surface evenly moist.

Depth: Plant approximately one-eighth inch deep and cover lightly with soil.

Spacing: Thin or transplant seedlings to approximately eight to twelve inches apart for good airflow and mature growth.

Sunlight: Provide full sun for strong stems and abundant flowering.

Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter if needed. Avoid poorly drained locations.

Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during germination and early growth. Water regularly during dry periods while avoiding waterlogged soil.

Germination: Seeds commonly germinate within approximately seven to fourteen days under favorable conditions. Germination time can vary with temperature and moisture.

Transplanting: If starting indoors, transplant seedlings after they develop several true leaves and outdoor conditions are suitable. Harden plants gradually before transplanting.

Fertilizing: Apply a balanced flower fertilizer according to the product label if soil fertility is low. Avoid excessive nitrogen.

Care: Keep weeds away from young plants and maintain good airflow. Remove spent flowers to encourage a neat appearance and continued blooming.

Flowering/Maturity: Giant China asters generally begin flowering during summer and may continue into early fall when grown under suitable conditions.
