Stokesia laevis 'Color Wheel' (Stokes Aster)

Here is a striking new variety of an old-fashioned garden perennial. 3" flowers open white on branched bloom stems, then fade to lavender, followed by dark blue-purple, maintaining three to five different color flowers all at one time. Bloom stems reach 18-24" above the classic green elongated leaves. Keep spent bloom stems snipped for an extended May-June bloom time. This drought-tolerant native looks tidy in a pot as well as the garden, and is easy to grow. But remember, no wet feet, especially in winter. Try it with purple Salvia, hardy Geraniums, and Siberian Iris. PP#12718
