Stokes Aster
Stokesia
Stokes Aster
While the hard-working native can be found in the bottomlands and ditches of the coastal plain, extending from North Carolina to Florida and Louisiana, this nectar-rich, cut-flower-perfect cultivar can be welcomed into your garden. Each lovely 3 to 4 in. wide primrose-yellow blossom hosts notched rays and a pincushion-like center of feathered disk florets. The long-blooming fluffy pastel-hued spectacle tops erect leafy stems plus an evergreen rosette with pest-free lanceolate greenery. Undaunted by drought and heat, ‘Mary Gregory’ relishes sun, good drainage, moderate moisture and winter mulch in cold northern
locales.
Blooms June–September
Size: 12" – 18" high x 12" – 18" wide.
Hardy to zone 5.
