1 Pack - 20 seeds

Step-by-Step Guide
1. Seed Preparation
Cold Stratification (Recommended): While not always necessary, cold stratification can improve germination rates for Aster dumosus seeds. To cold stratify:
Mix the seeds with moist sand or a moistened paper towel.
Place them in a sealed plastic bag.
Refrigerate for 4-6 weeks before sowing. This process mimics the natural winter conditions that seeds experience before sprouting in spring.
2. Sowing Seeds
Indoor Sowing
Timing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. This gives the seedlings a head start and ensures they are ready for transplanting outdoors.
Containers: Use seed trays or small pots with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
Soil: Use a well-draining seed starting mix. Asters prefer a light, airy mix that prevents waterlogging.
Planting Depth: Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and press them gently into the soil. Cover lightly with a thin layer of soil or vermiculite, about 1/8 inch deep.
Watering: Moisten the soil with a spray bottle to keep it consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Outdoor Sowing
Timing: Sow seeds directly outdoors in early spring or late fall. Fall sowing allows seeds to naturally stratify over winter.
Location: Choose a spot with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil.
Planting Depth: Scatter the seeds on the soil surface and cover lightly with soil, about 1/8 inch deep. Press the soil gently to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
Watering: Water gently to keep the soil moist until seeds germinate.
3. Germination Conditions
Temperature: Maintain a soil temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C). Using a heat mat can help maintain consistent temperatures for indoor sowing.
Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Place indoor seed trays near a sunny window or under grow lights for at least 6-8 hours a day.
Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mist the soil surface with water if it starts to dry out. Covering the trays with clear plastic can help retain moisture and warmth, but remove the cover once seedlings emerge to prevent mold.
4. Germination Time
Expect germination in about 14-21 days under optimal conditions.
5. Seedling Care
Thinning: Once the seedlings are a few inches tall and have developed their first true leaves, thin them out to prevent overcrowding. Space them about 12-18 inches apart to ensure they have room to grow and good air circulation.
Light: Ensure seedlings receive plenty of light. If growing indoors, place them in a sunny window or under grow lights for at least 6-8 hours a day.
Watering: Continue to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water gently to avoid displacing the seedlings.
6. Transplanting
Hardening Off
Timing: Begin hardening off seedlings about a week before transplanting them outdoors. This helps them acclimate to the outdoor environment and reduces transplant shock.
Method: Gradually expose the seedlings to outdoor conditions, starting with a few hours of sunlight per day and increasing the duration over several days.
Outdoor Planting
Timing: Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost date and when they are sturdy enough to handle.
Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Bushy Asters thrive in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
Spacing: Space the plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for growth and airflow. This helps prevent disease and promotes healthy growth.
7. Ongoing Care
Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil moist, especially during dry spells. Asters prefer consistent moisture but do not like to be waterlogged. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the foliage.
Mulching: Apply a thin layer of mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. This also helps maintain an even soil temperature.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once in the spring. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to lush foliage with fewer flowers.
Pruning: Pinch back the growing tips in early summer to encourage bushier growth and more blooms. Remove spent flowers to promote continuous blooming and prevent the plant from putting energy into seed production.
8. Pest and Disease Management
Monitoring: Watch for common pests such as aphids, spider mites, and leafhoppers. If necessary, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Disease Prevention: Ensure good air circulation around the plants to prevent fungal diseases. Avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of leaf spot, mildew, and rot.
Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent the spread of disease.
Summary of Growing Duration
From Sowing to Germination: Approximately 14-21 days.
From Planting to Flowering: Bushy Asters typically bloom in late summer to fall, about 10-12 weeks after planting.
Full Bloom: Flowers last for several weeks, providing vibrant color in the garden until frost.
Additional Tips
Soil Preference: Bushy Asters thrive in well-drained, loamy soil but can adapt to various soil types as long as they are not waterlogged.
Sunlight: Provide full sun for the best growth and flowering. Asters can tolerate partial shade but may produce fewer flowers.
Support: Due to their compact growth habit, Bushy Asters typically do not require staking, making them easy to maintain.
Propagation: Besides growing from seeds, asters can also be propagated by dividing mature plants in the spring or fall.

Great scale that needs some improvements to be perfect
Color: White, Color: White
Very accurate scale, looks good in white, timer works nicely and I do like the concept of the ratio conversion. Shown in photos with 0 measurement drift over time, even without the silicone mat. To make this the best scale in the price range, I would change: - The auto timer function. Timing currently stops if you pick up the brew to swirl; you must completely restart the process if you do happen to pick it up. I would change that to only stop on user input (pressing a button). - The ratio conversion. Why offer XX.0 precision if you can only change the ratio in whole amounts? I'd suggest offering 0.1 increments, selectable with +/- buttons instead of cycling through. - The silicone mat is not well affixed and slides around. Kind of useless as-is and I just keep it off. I would wrap the whole thing around the measurement platform, similar to how the Greater Goods scale does it, to really keep it secure. It's not perfect, but for the price, it's a 4.5/5 for me. Rounding up to 5 since a 4 is considered "bad" by today's online rating standards.

IMO, a filter coffee lovers best scale option on a budget. Solid grade A choice.
Color: Black
I have two other .1mg "coffee" or food scales that I used regular for pour overs. I saw this has 4x display on real time flow rate, g/mg weight, timer, and grounds to water ratio for a solid price and purchased this after reading some reviews. One of my scales has these features, but the workflow on this scale just clicked a ton better for me. The beep isn't super loud annoying which is a major relief, as I just couldn't keep sound on on my other scale due to that trigger honestly. I tried brew mode immediately and will now only use that when making a pour over. Loved the beep alerting when I finally hit the proper ratio and I like it keeps my final info on screen after the brew for my study. I can actually practice my technique now and not have split attention as much. This is still compact, but fits a larger carafe well whereas my other scale is a better fit for the espresso machine. The display is clear and buttons have a slight tactile sensation from the print, but are still the capacitive touch based style. I tested it with weights and it is my most accurate scale, it hit the .1g accurately every time or at worst would fluctuate back and forth quickly from the true value (more than enough for me to trust it). It updates and tares from power on fairly fast, it reacts fast enough to touch to not make me pause much. My nitpicks are that the front clear matte plastic isn't quite uniform flat viewed at an off angle giving it a cheaper look, but that doesn't affect functionality at all and truth is, it really was very affordable for the feature set I feel. The second nitpick was that the scale's mat does not grip well or fit securely over prompting it to move around easily. For this I had to modify using some rubberized grip tape on the surface of scale underneath the mat itself. Now it doesn't slide from vibration and if any pressure down it doesn't slip. I could have removed it totally, but it is attractive and useful once stabilized. With that modification done, I can fully recommend this scale for filter coffee lovers at any price. Great product, hopefully lasts me a long time.
