Aster alpinus 'Trimix'

Sowing method: Sow in a seed tray, first provide warmth for 2-4 weeks (18-22°C), press the seeds down or cover them with a very thin layer of sieved soil. In the 2nd or 3rd week, expose the seedlings to sunlight for 2 hours for light treatment. If germination does not occur: provide a cold period, e.g., in the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks, then gradually warm up to room temperature, after which germination should follow. Sowing directly into the garden is also possible; just let winter pass, and germination will occur in the spring.
