The Callistephus chinensis (Aster) QIS® Matsumoto Red is a striking addition to the beloved Matsumoto series. With its deep red, semi-double flowers and radiant yellow center, this aster brings intensity and warmth to both gardens and bouquets.
The Matsumoto series is known worldwide for its strong, upright stems, uniform growth, and excellent vase life as a cut flower. This variety is also Fusarium tolerant, making it not only beautiful but also reliable to grow. Ideal for florists, cut flower growers, and gardeners seeking top quality with a professional look.
The QIS® Matsumoto Red stands out with its deep, bright red color and contrasting golden-yellow center. This combination creates a powerful, energetic appearance that effortlessly commands attention. The flowers are semi-double, approximately 5–6 cm in diameter, and appear in abundance throughout the summer months.
The plants grow to about 60–70 cm tall and form sturdy, straight stems, allowing the flowers to stand upright. This makes them ideal for use as cut flowers – they last a long time in the vase and retain their vibrant color and shape.
The Callistephus Matsumoto series was specifically developed for reliability and disease resistance. This red variety is tolerant to Fusarium wilt, a common aster disease that can cause wilting and stunting.
To keep your plants healthy, it is important to:
Change location annually or disinfect the soil.
Avoid overwatering – asters like well-drained soil.
Provide a sunny and airy location to prevent mold formation.
With proper care, the Matsumoto Red will produce an abundance of professional-quality flowers, season after season.
The QIS® (Quality in Seed) quality mark guarantees high-quality seeds of florist quality. Only carefully selected varieties that meet the requirements of professional cut flower cultivation are eligible to carry this label.
