Aster Double Date Carmine

Aster comes from the ancient Greek word 'astere', which means star and refers to the shape of the flower. The Germanic population believed that the smell of burnt leaves from dead asters chased away poisonous snakes and evil spirits for the winter. In the modern floral language, aster stands for love and patience.

This new variant is a double-flowered aster, which means that it has a double row of petals, giving it a full and lush appearance.
