    Aster Seeds (Peony Duchess) - Coral Rose

    Store owner replied: Hello Tinygarden. Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that these did not do well for you this season! Asters grow best when sown after the danger of frost has passed in full sun with well-drained soil. The seeds should be planted very shallowly. About 1/8 inch deep, or lightly pressed into the soil, as they need good seed-to-soil contact and light to germinate. Keeping the soil consistently moist, during the 7–21 day germination period is also important. We're glad we had the opportunity to provide a resolution, and we appreciate your feedback. At Eden Brothers, we stand behind our products and hope your next planting is a success!
