Stokesia laevis 'Purple Parasols'

Stokes' Aster

This variety's unique color is a breeding breakthrough. The lovely flowers start out light blue, darken gradually and finish a lovely shade of deep violet. An excellent clump-forming cut flower for beds and borders.

Stokesia (sto-kee'-see-uh)

Family: Asteraceae · Common Name: Stokes' Aster

Southeastern U.S. natives have daisylike flowers in shades of violet, blue, yellow and white. Very heat and drought tolerant. A wonderful choice for a summer cut flower arrangement or planted in perennial borders.
