The Matsumoto aster (Callistephus chinensis), part of the Chinese aster series[1], is native to East Asia and is a much sought-after and admired flower. They are classified in the genus Callistephus, derived from the Greek word for “beautiful crown“.
This is most likely due to its crown-shaped appearance. The Matsumoto aster flaunts its always yellow inner flowers by surrounding them with red, purple, lavender, pink, or white flowers, to name a few.
