Product Description

Stokesia laevis ‘Blue Danube’ (30)ct Flat 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.

Stokes’ Asters perform best in full sun and well-drained soil. It can adapt to dry or moist conditions but cannot tolerate standing water. Deadheading spent flower stalks often prolongs flowering. Once flowering is finished, plants can be cut back to the basal foliage if fresh new growth is desired. Winter mulch is recommended in zone 5.
