China Aster Moonstone



Product Description
China Aster Moonstone
Callistephus chinensis
One of the most uniquely colored asters we’ve ever seen, this moody gem reminds us of the Pacific Northwest skies during winter. This smoky lavender beauty has a muted, metallic quality and its subtle light center offers extra dimension. Each plant is smothered in at least a dozen stems topped with ruffled blooms. Petals are slightly incurved and the flowers hold up very well in both the garden and the vase.
