Stokesia laevis 'Purple Pixie' PP19833
Common Name: Stokes' Aster
This petite selection from Terra Nova Nurseries measures in at just under a foot tall. A profusion of large, violet blue flowers are produced in midsummer atop a compact mound of deep green foliage. Plants may rebloom sporadically in the fall.
Like all of our Stokesias, this new variety is very tolerant of heat and humidity so it is widely grown in the South. It is very easy to grow and a good choice for beginner gardeners.
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.
