New York aster
New York aster (Michaelmas Daisy) - Aster novi-belgii.
Unpretentious, frost-resistant perennial with fragrant flowers.
A beautifully flowering perennial herbaceous plant that has long been cultivated in garden plots. However, the presented varietal mixture has a significant important difference - flowering begins in the year of sowing and therefore can be cultivated as an annual.
The stems of the plant are straight, strong, numerous, 120-140 cm tall. Flowers up to 4-6 cm in diameter, in various shades - pink, scarlet, purple, blue and bright white.
Homeland: Eastern regions of North America. In culture since 1686.
Natural flowering period: September - October.
Winter hardiness zones: Z2 - Z8.
1.0 g = 2900 seeds.
Most commonly grown for cutting. It is also widely used in landscaping - to create spectacular bright borders, for colourful flower beds and alpine slides. It can be grown in greenhouses and as pot culture. It is an excellent honey plant.
Agrotechnics.
Prefers open sunny places, but may well grow in partial shade. Well-drained light soils are well suited for planting. To obtain seedlings, seeds are sown in winter, early spring or autumn in special boxes, without embedding, only slightly rolled on the soil surface. Crops can be sprinkled with vermiculite. It is necessary to maintain constant humidity and light. The germination temperature is maintained within +15+18 °C. Shoots appear after 2-3 weeks. Next, reduce the humidity of the substrate; the temperature can be left within the same limits - up to + 18 °С. Seedlings are planted in the ground in a permanent place when the threat of spring frosts has passed.
Plants successfully overwinter in the open field when the ambient temperature drops below -3-5°C. Otherwise, the construction of a simple film shelter is recommended.
