Description

Callistephus chinensis (Aster) QIS® Matsumoto Pink – Elegant pink cut flower with QIS® quality

The Callistephus chinensis (Aster) QIS® Matsumoto Pink is a graceful, early-flowering aster from the well-known Matsumoto series. This series is known worldwide for its strong stems, uniform growth, and floristry quality. The soft pink, semi-double flowers with their characteristic yellow centers bring a romantic and fresh touch to any garden or flower arrangement.

With its Fusarium tolerance, strong stems, and long vase life as a cut flower, Matsumoto Pink is an excellent choice for both professional florists and enthusiasts who appreciate long-lasting, reliable floral splendor.


Beautiful semi-double flowers in a soft pink shade

The QIS® Matsumoto Pink flowers have a refined, semi-double structure with a striking yellow center that creates a warm contrast with the fresh pink petals. This color exudes softness, elegance, and femininity, making it perfect for romantic bouquets or summer borders.

The plants bloom profusely from July to October and reach a height of approximately 60 to 70 cm. Thanks to their sturdy, straight stems, the flowers remain upright, even in wind or rain. This makes them ideal for use as cut flowers—the flowers stay beautiful in the vase for a long time and retain their vibrant color.


Strong, reliable growth – Fusarium tolerant

One of the biggest advantages of the Callistephus Matsumoto series is its good tolerance to Fusarium wilt. While many asters are susceptible to this fungal disease, the Matsumoto Pink remains robust and reliable. However, it's wise to rotate the planting location or disinfect the soil annually to prevent contamination.

Important growing tip: asters don't like wet feet. Avoid overwatering and choose well-drained soil. A sunny, airy location ensures the healthiest plants and long-lasting blooms.

The QIS® Matsumoto Pink belongs to this exclusive selection and delivers professional flower quality with every harvest. This means reliable germination, strong stems, abundant flowering plants, and a long shelf life – exactly what you expect from a quality seed.
