Stokesia laevis 'Color Wheel' PP#12718 PP#12718
Stokes' Aster
Spectacular new look for Stokesias! Starting in mid-May 'Colorwheel' sends up branched bloom stalks which open almost pure white. As the days progress, the same bloom fades to lavender, then to deeper lavender and finally to purple. During the lavender and purple stages, new white blooms open on the same bloom stalk. The overall effect is as many as five different colors on the same plant. Foliage is strap-like to 10", blooms reach 24". Another fine intorduction from ItSaul Plants.
