πŸ“… 1. When to Start Pink Aster Seeds

  • Indoors: Start 6–8 weeks before last frost

  • Outdoors: Sow directly after last frost, or late fall for natural cold stratification


❄️ 2. Cold Stratification (Optional but Helpful)

  • Some perennial asters benefit from cold stratification to improve germination.

  • How:

    • Place seeds in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag

    • Refrigerate for 2–4 weeks

    • Then sow indoors or directly outdoors

Note: This step is usually not required for China Aster (Callistephus chinensis), which is an annual.


🌱 3. Sowing Indoors

  • Containers: Use seed trays or small pots with drainage

  • Soil: Use a sterile, well-draining seed-starting mix

  • Sowing Depth: Press seeds lightly into the soil β€” do not cover heavily (they need light to germinate)

  • Water: Mist gently or bottom-water


🌞 4. Germination Conditions

  • Light: Bright light or grow lights (12–14 hours/day)

  • Temperature: 65–70Β°F (18–21Β°C)

  • Time: Seeds germinate in 7–21 days, depending on variety


🌿 5. Seedling Care

  • Thin once seedlings have 2–3 true leaves

  • Water regularly but avoid soggy soil

  • Harden off: About 1 week before transplanting, gradually introduce seedlings to outdoor conditions


🌷 6. Transplanting Outdoors

  • When: After danger of frost has passed

  • Where: Full sun (6+ hours of direct light per day)

  • Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile

  • Spacing: 12–18 inches apart depending on the variety


🌻 7. Direct Sowing Outdoors

  • When: After frost, or late fall for perennials

  • How:

    • Scatter seeds over prepared soil

    • Press lightly into the soil surface (don’t bury deeply)

    • Keep moist until germination


πŸ“Œ Extra Tips

  • Deadhead spent flowers to prolong bloom time

  • Staking may be needed for tall varieties

  • Asters attract bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects

  • Bloom time is typically late summer to fall
