Utilization:
The single Chinese aster is best utilized in the garden for its bright, cheerful, daisy-like appearance and its value as a late-season cut flower. Unlike their heavily petaled double-flowered counterparts, the single varieties feature a prominent yellow center, making them a superb choice for attracting and feeding pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, well into the late summer and fall. Plant them in drifts or masses within cutting gardens, cottage borders, or even large containers to create a dense display of color. Their long, sturdy stems and excellent vase life (7-10 days) mean they should be regularly harvested for bouquets, which also encourages the plant to produce even more blooms, thus maximizing the plant's ornamental and ecological benefit throughout the growing season.
