China Aster Seed Lady Coral Lavender
Callistephus chinensis
 
Uncommon beauty.
The unique, captivating color of Lady Coral Lavender is simply indescribable — you have to see it to believe it. A favorite in our trials and reminiscent of the silvery full moon, her lilac-taupe petals are tightly packed into 2 1/2–3 1/2" blooms. A bit later to bloom than our other China asters. Ht. 24–36"
