Pale Pink Aster Flower

Baby Aster Growing

This flower bloomed to my surprise since I planted them from seeds. They sat in a huge pot on my front porch, and despite many tries, nothing seemed to flourished until this beautiful flower came into sight. I've just located the envelop that the seeds came in, and this is called Aster Crego Mixed Colors.

Pink Petals Emerged

The leaves looked a bit like chrysanthemum leaves, but there were plenty of little soft spikes on them. The flower was quite pretty as it grew. It went from a total white bud and transitioned slowly into pink color.

Macro of Pink Aster Flower

I enjoyed watching this pretty pink aster flower grew. The plant was not all that tall but gave many flowers continuously. I picked up a few of different seeds at the Dollar Store when it was 10 cents a piece.

A short gardening tip: plant the seeds in a sunny location at 1/4 inch deep, 12 inches apart, and growing up to 18-24 inches in height. For early blossoms, start seeds indoor 6 weeks before planting them outside when the danger of frost past.

This aster crego flower blooms late in the summer until frost. However, you can prolong the different blooming periods by planting them two weeks apart.
