Mastsumoto striped red aster

Semi-double, softly striped red asters set on graceful, well-branched plants, each bloom 5–7 cm across. Petals form layered, slightly ruffled rings around a compact eye, the subtle crimson-and-rose striping adding depth and interest. Long-stemmed and abundant-flowering, they create lush, textured bouquets and hold exceptionally well in the vase, maintaining color and form for days.
