Single-petalled, this traditional variety attracts bees and butterflies, and is also recognised for its edible petals, delicate and slightly sweet. A simple choice for anyone looking for a livelier corner of the garden, full of colour and life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSingle-Petal China Aster: An Origin in Beira Baixa\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlso known simply as aster or China aster, the single-petal China Aster celebrates the simplicity of the more traditional varieties, predating the hybridisation that produced fuller, double-flowered forms. These seeds reach you through Sementes Vivas, a Geocakes partner based in Idanha-a-Nova, with organic and Demeter (biodynamic farming) certification, sharing the same values of respect for the land and the Naturtejo Geopark's natural cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Grow It in Your Garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSowing is ideally done in spring, once the risk of frost has passed, in a spot with full sun and well-drained soil. Germination happens within seven to fourteen days, and the first flowers open in late summer, lasting through autumn. Each pack contains 0.5g of seeds, enough for a flowering corner in the garden, in pots or window boxes. The plant reaches 40 to 60 centimetres in height, making it equally good for garden beds or deeper window boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom the Land to the Table: Flowers You Can Eat Too\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond their colour, China Aster petals have a mild, slightly sweet flavour, and can accompany salads, decorate desserts or bring colour to summer dishes. Start with just a few petals, to discover the flavour at your own pace, and always make sure the flowers were grown without chemical treatments before bringing them to the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose These Seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic and Demeter seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e, no chemical treatments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong flowering\u003c\/strong\u003e, from late summer through autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttracts bees and butterflies\u003c\/strong\u003e, allies of garden biodiversity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdible petals\u003c\/strong\u003e, for use in the kitchen too\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Idanha-a-Nova\u003c\/strong\u003e, at the heart of the Naturtejo Geopark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sementes Vivas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40319932760133,"sku":"GC.SV.019","price":1.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/4375\/6869\/files\/FL024_Rainha_Margarida_Petala_Simples-11-scaled.webp?v=1759855749","url":"https:\/\/geocakes.com\/en-es\/products\/sementes-de-rainha-margarida-petala-simples-biologico","provider":"Geocakes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
