Bonita
Aster
Callistephus chinensis
Bonita Aster has beautiful, fully-double pompon flowers that color completely. The 2 inch/5 cm diameter flowers remain attractive even when aging. Bonitas flowers are held at a perfect angle for maximum impact and have a flower size that is similar to Matsumoto. Although Bonita crop time is one week longer than Matsumoto, Bonita easily fits into a production program with Matsumoto as both also have a fusarium resistance.
