{"product_id":"silky-aster-25-seeds","title":"Silky Aster – 25 Seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eEnhance your landscape with the rare, ethereal beauty of our Silky Aster seeds. This North American native perennial is celebrated for its unique, silvery foliage covered in soft, fine hairs that give the plant a shimmering, metallic appearance. In late summer and autumn, this silver backdrop is transformed by a profusion of delicate, lavender-blue daisy-like blooms with bright golden centers. Exceptionally drought-tolerant and elegant, Silky Aster is a sophisticated choice for rock gardens, native meadows, or any sunny border looking for year-round textural interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e⭐ What you'll love\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eStunning silvery-grey foliage that provides a soft, \"silky\" texture all season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBeautiful lavender-blue flowers that provide critical late-season color.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eExtremely hardy and drought-tolerant once established; perfect for low-maintenance landscapes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eA vital late-season nectar source for monarch butterflies and native bees.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🌿 Seed details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silky Aster (Symphyotrichum sericeum)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeed Quantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 25 seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native Wildflower, Heirloom, Non-GMO\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLifecycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Zone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Grown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e🌱 Growing instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct sow outdoors in late fall for natural stratification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Sowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Requires 60 days of cold, moist stratification in a refrigerator before planting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant seeds just under the surface; keep soil moist but not soggy during germination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight Requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thrives in well-draining, dry to medium soil.
