Plants tend to be tough and adaptable, preferring full sun in average to moist conditions but also tolerating dry sites. Height 3.5', Spread 3', Zone 5-9, Qt. The cultivar name refers not to the color, but to the plantswoman who found this plant, Peachie Saxon. Peachie shared this plant with friend and plantswoman, Dancin' Gail Barton, who in turn shared the plant with me. This tidy, compact, non-flopping form is great along the front of sunny borders or pathways and bursts into bloom during daylily time.
Flowers are the typical medium blue.
Great for small gardens where space is at a premium. Stokesias need good winter drainage. Unusual hairy seedpods follow, providing added interest. Plant in partial to full shade locations. If sited well, it self-sows without becoming aggressive.
