    I was really looking forward to growing these asters from seed. Unfortunately, after planting all of the seeds, I had exactly zero actually germinate. Pretty disappointing.

    I was really looking forward to this flower germinating but unfortunately, I got zero germination from the packet. I tried at least three different times to make sure I was not doing something wrong. Still, nothing. Hopefully next time.

    I unfortunately couldn’t get any of these to germinate in trays or with the wet paper towel method. My other asters did, so I’d try another variety or over sow these if you really want them.
