Stokesia laevis Blue Danube * Stokes Aster

I have grown Stokesia  in full sun and high shade.  It blooms and thrives in either.  The foliage looks a lot better with a little protection from the mid-day sun.  Near the coast Stokesia Blue Danube will like full sun.  The blooms are a wonderfully lacy blue.  The flower is large compared to the size of the plant and makes a great impact because of this.  Stokes Aster grows to about 18" tall.  Stokesia Blue Danube blooms in the late spring.
