I love the colors of this aster. It is even darker purple than this picture.
Moulin Rouge Sunflower
American Giant Sunflower
A disappointment at only 8 ½ feet tall (I shouldn’t complaint I didn’t amend the soil this year and only fertilized a few times). Next year I am bound and determined to grow giants! Found a nice little book called "Secrets of Giant Sunflowers" by Bernard Lavery, and I am going to try some tall varieties like Bott’s Strain Russian Mammoths and probably Sunzillas. |

| Beautiful. Love the asters. Yeah, what variety are they? Where did you get the seeds? Thanks. |

| The Asters are Dark Blue Matsumoto (Callistephus chinensis). I got them at Stokes Seeds, but I plan to save seeds for next year and for some trades. Will post when ready. |
