STOKESIA laevis. Stokes' aster. Southeastern U.S. These are distinctive and beautiful perennials of the daisy family. They form compact basal clumps of long, rather narrow leaves. Widely branched 1-2' stems rise from late spring to fall, carrying 3" blossoms which resemble double daisies in form but have lacy, divided rays. We offer both ‘Blue Danube’, with lavender blossoms, and ‘Aster White’, with white blossoms. Sun, most soils, moderate to regular watering. Hardy to 0^oF or less.
