Aster Needle Unicum Salmon Callistephus Chinensis is an annual aster that can be easily grown from seeds. This China Aster is also commonly called Spider Aster for its unique spider-like flowers. Aster Needle grows up to 24 inches in height producing huge, 3 inch in diameter salmon colored flowers that have striking appearance and bloom all summer and fall until first frost attracting butterflies, bees and other beneficial pollinators.

Aster Unicum is a fantastic addition to any garden, and China Aster is one of the most popular annual flowers for cutting gardens and borders. Callistephus Chinensis is drought tolerant and likes to grow in full sun preferring rich, well-drained soil, but this aster can tolerate partial shade and less than perfect soil conditions. Spider Aster makes a superb cut flower.
