This is one of the most unique Asters plants you can start from flower seed! This white Aster Callistephus with a blue center grows to approximately 20 inches tall.
Aster Blue Moon has large pompons which are 2 to 3 inches wide and simply loaded with petals. Massive disks of dark and light blue all centered on a white outer rim, adding eye-catching color to the flower border all summer long.

I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
