    Customer photo review of Aster Seeds (Peony Duchess) - Mix

    These are gorgeous! Their vase life is impressive and mine grew very long stems without any special treatment. Definitely a must-try if you want to grow your own flowers. A deer did take a bite off one of them when I left the gate open so they are not 100% deer resistant. The colors are lovely and I received a nice mix. Some with open centers, some not.

    Aster Seeds (Peony Duchess) - Mix

    I have been gardening for 6 years and this is the first time I’ve ever sown seeds of any kind that I had just purchased and NONE germinated. I tried again and still nothing. All of the other types of flowers and vegetables are doing great. But not a single aster.
