Soft, elegant & long-flowering, this Stokesia brings refined summer colour, pollinator value & compact structure to borders, containers & neatly planted garden spaces.
One large, outdoor garden ready Stokesia plant, selected for its beautifully fringed, cornflower-style blooms in calming lavender-blue tones. From early to mid-summer, broad, daisy-like flowers rise on upright stems above a tidy rosette of glossy green, lance-shaped leaves, creating a light, airy display with gentle movement. Naturally compact and clump-forming, plants typically reach around 30–40 cm tall and wide, making them ideal for borders, pathways, patio containers & formal planting schemes where controlled shape and reliable flowering are desired.
Supplied as a healthy, fresh & fully established 3L rootball in its nursery pot, each plant is professionally grown in premium peat-free compost for strong root development & dependable performance after planting. Larger and more mature than small starter plants, this Stokesia arrives fully rooted, well-balanced and outdoor ready, ensuring quick establishment and vigorous summer growth. Its open blooms provide valuable nectar and pollen for bees and butterflies, adding both beauty and biodiversity to your garden with very little ongoing care required.
