The China Aster is known to have been cultivated in Chinese culture for more than 2,000 years, while it was recently introduced to Europe in the 18th Century. The genus name of Callistephus is derived from Greek words kalli ("beautiful") and stephos ("crown"), and the common word aster is the Latin word for "star."
