Stokesia laevis 'Mel's Blue'
This stunning form of Stoke's Aster has masses of large lavender flowers that last throughout the summer months. Its compact, semi-evergreen habit makes it an ideal front of border plant, or it is equally at home in patio containers. Good for attracting bees and other pollinators to the garden.
Plant Care
Prefers a moist but well draining soil. Keep well watered until firmly established. Feed with a good liquid fertiliser every two weeks in the flowering season.
