Aster Seeds – Gremlin Violet (Callistephus Tall Double Gremlin Dark Violet) – How many Aster plants does your border need? Grow as many as you need from Aster seeds. This Aster Callistephus is such a showy annual. It is tall with huge double blooms that resemble a tiger’s paw. This dark violet one is especially gorgeous, and it’s great for cutting too and has a long vase-life. Tiger Paw Asters have an upright growth habit and reach nearly 30 inches in height. They are easy to grow from flower seed and so very rewarding as well.
