The distinctive \"tiger paw\" curled petals of these unusual-shaped blooms give them a striking, textured appearance that is ideal for cut flower arrangements. This annual cultivar offers a long flowering season from late summer into autumn and is perfect for borders, beds, and cutting gardens. It grows well in full sun and well-drained soil. Their vivid colour draws pollinators like bees and butterflies, and their tall, robust stems make them great for bouquets. These asters add striking elegance and rich, opulent colour to any outdoor area. They are also very decorative and easy to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrowing instructions:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eStart sowing seeds indoors between March and April to successfully grow Tiger Paw Aster Dark Blue Double Pavlova. Lightly cover with a thin layer of soil after sowing on the surface of moist, free-draining compost. Until germination, which typically takes 10–14 days, keep the temperature between 18 and 20°C. Transplant seedlings into separate pots and allow them to progressively harden off until they have real leaves. Only after the final frost, which usually occurs in mid-May, should you plant outside. To lower the risk of disease, pick a bright, protected location with rich, well-drained soil; stay away from places where asters or chrysanthemums have previously grown. During dry conditions, water plants frequently and space them 25–35 cm apart. Enjoy striking dark-blue double blooms from late summer into autumn by deadheading spent blooms to encourage continuing flowering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yorkshire Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52331134419286,"sku":"F516","price":1.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/2691\/2598\/files\/57_cad5bb76-cdb4-4ed7-a536-4325609e3de9.png?v=1768476781","url":"https:\/\/yorkshire-seeds.co.uk\/products\/400x-tiger-paw-aster-dark-blue-double-pavlova-seeds-callistephus-chinensis-f516","provider":"Yorkshire Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
