Our Perennial of the Week is the Stokesia – ‘Stoke’s Aster’. This showy summer bloomer can do full sun to part shade and produces dozens of wide blue/purple flower heads with petal like rays with warm white fuzzy centers.
A dramatic and easy to grow additiona to the flower garden, it’s attractive to butterflies. Growing best in average soil that is moist (but well drained). Thick wiry roots help it to endure periods of drought. The Stoke’s Aster is 10% right now as our perennial of the week!
