Callistephus is a genus of flowering plants, specifically the China aster (*Callistephus chinensis*). These annuals are prized for their showy, daisy-like flowers in a variety of colors. They are often used in bouquets and garden displays. Think of them as the colorful stars of the late summer garden, bringing vibrancy to the landscape. Unlike some delicate flowers, Callistephus is relatively hardy and long-lasting. Their diverse colors and forms make them a favorite among gardeners.
