Stokesia laevis 'Blue Danube'
Common Name: Stokes' Aster
Reminiscent of the Blue Danube River, this selection produces large lavender-blue flowers measuring 4-5" across. They are wonderful in fresh bouquets. The deep green foliage is neatly mounding.
Stokesia is a native North American wildflower. It has been grown for many years for its beautiful flowers and ease of culture. Because of its heat tolerance, it is widely grown in the south. Blooming from midsummer to early fall (if deadheaded), it is a tremendous accent to yellow, pink, or white mums and other late bloomers.
