Product OverviewAzumi XL is an aster bred for cut‑flower production, producing extra‑large pompon‑type blooms. The first bloom reaches approximately 3" (≈7.6 cm) followed by later flowers around 2" (≈5 cm). Azumi XL demonstrates good germination and high usable plug counts, with a crop time similar to Matsumoto (13–14 weeks from sowing). Plants reach target height readily and can be disbudded to produce even larger flowers (~4"). Available in three bold colors plus white; tolerant to Fusarium.
