| Positive | flora_p | On Jul 1, 2011, flora_p from Champaign, IL (Zone 5b) wrote: I adore this plant. It's distinctive and beautiful (not true blue, but closer than it looks in photographs) and reliable, blooming at a time when it's particularly welcome and staying in bloom for several weeks. I never get around to dividing mine and it chugs along nonetheless, and it seems unfazed by being in partial shade. When I can bear to cut some, it's a nice cut flower, too--just keep in mind it closes up in darkness but opens up again in light!
I've also got some "Peachie's Pick" and "Bluestone" Stokesia cultivars, and I'd say you can't really go wrong with any of the three. |

It flowers in mid summer large pretty flowers look nice w/yellow can tolerate a little drought but likes water. I also have Blue Danube, and they fit well together. Different plant, likes division every 3 yrs or so. |
