China aster 'Blue Ribbon'

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Blue Ribbon is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Blue Ribbon tends to grow best in a soil ph of between 5.1 and 7.5 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Ensure a seed sowing distance of 8.58 inches (22.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 21°C / 70°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Blue Ribbon about 42 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Blue Ribbon is a tender plant.
