Trial: Annual

Years Trialed: 2000

Good Qualities

Money maker, easy to sell, mix with Blue Horizon Ageratum for quick bouquets that sells with ease, customers loved color variations on same stem, full of flowers at the same time; Dependable, reliable and attractive series, the easiest asters to grower with less Aster Yellows and lodging; Flowers small, nice color, bloom is a full head almost all at the same time, nice filler in bouquets.

Problems

Rust hit late bloomers; Lost all plants to Pythium.

Comments

We cut the center then side branches for a quick made bouquet, seem to grow more stems per plant when two plants grown in same hole; the best of the six Serenades trialed; Use one layer of support in the field to keep upright in open areas.
