Optionally, begin the seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the frost date. When the seedlings have two true leaves, harden them off and then transplant them outdoors 12-18 inches apart. For continuous blooms all summer, deadhead regularly and plant batches of seeds in succession every two weeks.

The China Aster is known to have been cultivated in Chinese culture for more than 2,000 years, while it was recently introduced to Europe in the 18th Century. The genus name of Callistephus is derived from Greek words kalli ("beautiful") and stephos ("crown"), and the common word aster is the Latin word for "star."
