Aster

This year, we've expanded the space we dedicate to cut flowers and have been trying some new varieties. Queen Anne's Lace, Sweet Pea and Nasturcium are a few of the new types of annual flowers we have grown this year. We have also been using perennial flowers in our arrangements. Hydrangea, hosta, ornamental grasses and holly have been especially nice in vase arrangements.
Chinese Aster is one of my new favorites to grow. Native to China, it is pretty easy to grow in the northeast. The flowers are multi colored and striking in bouquets. We will definately be growing more Chinese Asters next year!
