Multiple light blue flower heads on stout 18-inch stems rise above the succulent foliage in June. The showy flower heads are 3 inches across with fringed ray flowers (petals) subtended by attractive green leafy bracts. This perennial is well-suited to the front of the garden where it will receive full to filtered sun and some moisture. The flowers are good as cut flowers although they may close at night. Stokes' Aster has long been a garden favorite and deservedly so. Cat# 1210
