Stokesia – Honeysong Purple Stoke’s Aster
SKU: n/a.$15.99
A long-time favorite of seasoned perennial gardeners, Honeysong Purple Stoke’s Aster, Stokesia, delights us with true royal purple flowers. The huge 4″ blossoms have a hint of red towards the center that darkens as they age and fascinating deeply serrated edges. The contrasting white stamens and purple-tinged stems add to their appeal. Another outstanding attribute is its attractive, neat mound of foliage, making it a top choice for tidy gardens. It makes a gorgeous cut flower.
Use Honey Song Purple Stoke’s Aster in perennial beds, cottage and cutting gardens, or as an edger. Its deep purple blossoms make a tremendous accent to yellow Coreopsis, pink, or white mums and other late bloomers. An old-fashioned delight, Stokesia has won a top spot on perennial gardeners’ favorite lists for generations. Stokesia is a native North American wildflower. It is easy to grow and heat tolerant. It blooms from midsummer to early fall (if deadheaded). Deer and rabbit-resistant, adored by bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
Plant in full sun in average, well-drained soil. Although tolerant of drought, plants prefer moist soil and will perform best with consistent moisture. Remove spent blossoms to encourage more flowering.
