Also commonly called China Aster, the plant is easy to grow from seeds, and this compact variety grows 24 inches tall producing long lasting, extra large, unique looking, spider-like flowers on a top of sturdy stems. Because of the shape of its flowers, this China Aster is also called Spider Aster, and its huge blooms of rose, violet, white and salmon flowers appear in summer and fall attracting butterflies and bees.
