{"product_id":"purplestem-aster-pollinatehv-local-ecotype-seeds-organic","title":"Purplestem Aster Seeds (Organic)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePurplestem Aster extends the garden’s season with loose sprays of lavender-purple flowers around golden centers. The fine petals and branching stems give a planting a soft, airy appearance as summer shifts toward fall. Its flowers provide nectar and pollen for native bees, so the late display has value beyond its color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis perennial is a useful choice for a moist border or a naturalistic planting where taller stems have room to develop. It grows in full sun or partial shade and performs best in soil that stays on the moist side. Place it behind lower plants, or repeat it through a larger bed to carry late-season color across the planting. Each packet contains 250 certified organic seeds. Cold treatment is required before germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePacket \u0026amp; Variety Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e One packet, 250 Seeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hudson Valley Seed Company\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified organic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGarden Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36\"-60\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSowing \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow outdoors in fall or early winter.
