Cut Flower Care: Keep the
water in the vase of your Matsumoto Aster fresh. Replace the water every 3 days with cold
water keeping the water level near the top of the vase. Re-cut
1/2" from the base of each Matsumoto Aster stem under water using a
sharp knife with each water change. Remove any foliage
that may become submerged after re-cutting to avoid bacterial
growth in the vase water.
Variety note: Matsumoto
Asters are available year round in shades of pink, reds, purple,
lavender and bi-colors in 10 stem bunches. Stems lengths vary depending on time of year.
During the spring and summer months its not uncommon to see
Matsumoto Aster bunches that are four feet long. During the winter
months stem lengths can be as short as 24". Matsumoto Asters
can be grown in the garden as an annual here in Colorado.
Add a commercial floral preservative such as AquaPlus or
FloraLife to the vase that contains
your Matsumoto Aster with each water change. Floral
preservative helps to prevent bacteria growth and feeds your
Matsumoto Aster flowers insuring a long vase life. To make your own
cut flower food mix 1/2 teaspoon of table sugar to a quart of cold
water... mixing thoroughly.
