Abstract: This article discusses whether the Dutch aster blooms all year round and shares some small experiences about the flowering period and plant cultivation of the Dutch aster. Next, let me introduce to you.
The Dutch aster is a general term for a series of horticultural chrysanthemums introduced from Europe. It is not a single variety but belongs to the Asteraceae family, genus Aster. Although the Dutch aster is not a traditional Chinese chrysanthemum, why is it so popular in today's flower market? A detailed analysis reveals the following three reasons.
First, bright flower colors
Traditional chrysanthemums usually have one flower per branch. Unlike traditional chrysanthemums, the Dutch aster has multiple branches and flower buds, numerous flowers, rich colors, various shapes, delicate single flowers, and spectacular mass blooming, making it highly ornamental.
Second, easy to care for
Don't be fooled by the bright appearance of the Dutch aster, it is actually very easy to grow. It is a perennial plant with good cold resistance. In winter, just cut the branches and leave the roots, and it can be grown outdoors in most parts of the north. The Dutch aster is also drought-resistant and can be cultivated on a large scale in saline-alkaline areas.
Third, longer blooming period
While traditional chrysanthemums usually only bloom in autumn, the Dutch aster is different, with a three-season blooming period, lasting from spring to late autumn. If conditions allow, it can be moved to a warm room in winter, basking in the sun by the window, and it can also bloom in winter.
