The Callistephus chinensis (Aster) QIS® Matsumoto Scarlet is a striking, early-flowering aster from the popular Matsumoto series. With its deep red, semi-double flowers and bright yellow center, this variety brings intensity and elegance to both gardens and bouquets.
Like all Matsumoto varieties, Scarlet boasts strong, upright stems, professional florist quality, and Fusarium tolerance, making it a reliable choice for both professional cut flower growers and home gardeners.
The QIS® Matsumoto Scarlet produces lush, semi-double flowers 5–6 cm across, creating a full, graceful appearance. The flower's golden center contrasts beautifully with the fiery red petals, making it a striking focal point in borders, pots, or bouquets.

Avoid overwatering and ensure well-draining soil.
Choose a sunny and airy spot for optimal growth.
With proper care, the Matsumoto Scarlet will produce abundant, professional-quality flowers.
