Stokesia laevis Stokes' Aster is a striking perennial with compact clumps and vibrant blue-lavender flower heads that catch the eye in every season. Foliage stays neat year-round and sturdy stems lift blossoms for lasting charm. Thrives in sun to partial shade with well-drained soil, bringing color and structure to the garden.

Care and Watering

Stokesia laevis, or Stokes' Aster, prefers moist, well‑drained soil and full sun to light shade. Water deeply during dry spells but avoid soggy roots. Mulch to keep roots cool and reduce evaporation. In hot climates, provide afternoon shade.

Maintenance

Deadhead faded blooms to encourage long flowering, and cut back lightly after flowering to maintain shape. Divide clumps every 3–4 years to keep plants vigorous and prevent crowding.

Location

Plant in a sunny bed or border with good air circulation. Choose a site with rich, loamy soil and protection from strong winds to show off vibrant blue‑to‑purple flowers.

Tips

Water at soil level, avoid overhead spraying, and apply a balanced fertilizer in spring. Stokesia laevis is drought tolerant once established and attracts pollinators.

Stokesia laevis, commonly known as Stokes' aster, provides a striking ornamental value with bright, cornflower-like flowers and a long flowering period. Perfect for those looking for a summer bloomer and autumn bloomer in one. This perennial attracts butterflies and bees and fits beautifully in prairie, rock, and wall gardens. The unique flower color adds depth and structure to borders and mixes.
