Stokesia laevis ‘Colorwheel’
Stokes’ Aster |
USDA Zone: 5-9 |
Plant number: 1.505.110
Stokes’ Aster is a North American native wildflower that is a wonderful addition to the sunny border. This compact selection produces large, shaggy flowers that open white and then age to deep mauve purple, for a multicolour effect. It forms a low mound of leathery green leaves, remaining evergreen in mild winter areas. Tolerant of hot, humid summer regions. Great for cutting, and also attractive to butterflies. This needs good drainage, particularly in the winter, so a raised bed might suit it well. Also a good candidate for mixed containers. Remove faded flowers to encourage more buds to form. Bred and introduced by the Saul brothers of ItSaul Plants in Georgia. USPP#12718: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
