Stokesia Peachies Pick "Stokes Aster"
Discovered by Peachie Saxton of Mississippi, 'Peachie's Pick' is the latest and longest blooming Stokesia yet. It has large, 2 inch, lavender-blue flowers on upright 18 inch stems from mid-summer on. The healthy deep green foliage forms a tidy 12 inch clump and is evergreen, so it remains attractive all season. Its longer stems make it a good variety for cut flowers. It looks stunning when planted with Gaillardia Fanfare. It is a rock-solid performer in the landscape and prefers full sun and average soil conditions.
