Stokes Aster is a hardy perennial with dark evergreen leaves which provide beautiful greenery during the winter months. The large blue daisy type flowers typically bloom in summer. These plants are often used in formal gardens and need well-drained soil and sunlight. Stokesia is native to the southern U.S. but while they are widely cultivated they are uncommon in the wild. This selection from Peachie Saxon's garden in Mississippi is compact and very floriferous. The flower color is vivid blue lavender.
