About Aster dwarf Pinocchio mixed

Quick Overview

  • Type: Annual

  • Height: 8–12 inches (20–30 cm)

  • Bloom Time: Late summer to fall

  • Light: Full sun to partial shade

  • Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile

  • Use: Borders, pots, and small bouquet accents


📅 1. When to Sow

  • Indoors: Start 6–8 weeks before the last frost

  • Outdoors (Direct Sow): Not recommended due to slow germination and delicate seedlings; best started indoors


🌱 2. Sowing Depth & Spacing

  • Depth: Sow seeds ⅛ inch (3 mm) deep – barely cover with fine soil or vermiculite

  • Spacing: Thin or transplant to 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) apart


🪴 3. Starting Indoors

  1. Fill trays or pots with fine seed-starting mix.

  2. Sow seeds thinly, barely covering them.

  3. Mist to moisten soil surface.

  4. Keep in a warm location (60–70°F / 16–21°C).

  5. Germination takes 7–14 days.

  6. Provide strong light—sunny windowsill or grow lights.

  7. Transplant after 2 true leaves appear.


🌞 4. Transplanting Outdoors

  1. Harden off seedlings over 7 days before planting out.

  2. Choose a sunny, well-drained site.

  3. Transplant after all frost danger has passed.

  4. Space 6–8 inches apart in rows or clusters.


🌿 5. Care & Maintenance

  • Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy.

  • Mulch to retain moisture and reduce weeds.

  • Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which lead to leafy growth and fewer flowers.

  • Remove faded flowers (deadheading) to prolong blooming.

  • Protect from powdery mildew with good air circulation.


✂️ 6. Harvesting for Bouquets

  • Cut stems when flowers are half to fully open.

  • Best harvested early in the day.

  • Remove foliage below water line in the vase.

  • Asters can last 5–7 days in a bouquet with fresh water changes.
