Peony Duchess Apricot Aster 50+Seeds – Blush Peach Double Asters – Cut Flower Cottage Garden Seeds

Grow soft, romantic color with Peony Duchess Apricot Aster Seeds. This elegant variety produces large, densely petaled peony-style blooms in delicate shades of blush pink, soft apricot, peach-cream, and pale rose.

The full, rounded flowers have a refined vintage look that is beautiful in cottage gardens, cutting gardens, borders, and fresh floral arrangements. Their pastel coloring blends especially well with white, lavender, dusty rose, and deeper jewel-toned flowers.

Peony Duchess asters grow on upright branching plants with strong stems and provide beautiful late-summer color when many earlier flowers are beginning to fade.
