Present investigation was carried out to standardize planting dates and suitable varieties of China aster for quality flower production in South Gujarat. The experiment was laid out in split plot design having four levels of planting dates (main plots) and six levels of varieties (sub plots). The twenty four treatment combinations of different planting dates and varieties were replicated four times. Among different treatments of China aster, var. Phule Ganesh White planted on 15th October (P1V3) recorded maximum plant height and stalk length, weight of 10 flowers while planting of Phule Ganesh Violet on 15th October (P1V4) recorded maximum plant spread in East-West and North-South directions and number of primary branches. However planting of China aster variety ArkaArchana on 15th October (P1V5) gave maximum number of flowers per plant, flower yield per plant, per hectare and water uptake per flower.
