China aster 'Red Ribbon'

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Red 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. A soil ph of between 5.1 and 7.5 is ideal for Red Ribbon as 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 Red Ribbon about 42 days before your last frost date.

As Red Ribbon is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
