The main problem we've had with them is that someone who was helping with the gardening here (we have a lot of work to get ready for the spring garden tour) would pull them up as weeds! I finally had to let her go after too many asters, clematis, and platycodon fell victim to the hoe when she was around LOL. But yours make me want to run out and get more! Love the macros of the fauna as well.Cathy and Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985161421939096681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-23431352096325151452011-07-09T08:37:38.440-05:002011-07-09T08:37:38.440-05:00Great blog!

I garden in Middle TN too.<br /><br />'Peachie's Pick' is my fave of the Stokesias -- unlike so many other varieties, it doesn't flop. My understanding is a lady in MS named Peachie found it as a volunteer in her garden and recognized its sterling qualities, hence the cultivar name.<br /><br />'Mary Gregory' in my view is most effective planted in groups as the pale yellow color doesn't have a lot of oomph from a distance. Lovely subtle bloom close up, needless to say.<br /><br />Agree with the above poster about a little PM shade being appreciated. They occur in that setting in the wild. Stokesia are quite easy from seed, BTW, although they won't come true to variety. Varieties tend to be self-sterile, but they set seed like crazy if two different types are present. It's fun to see what comes up -- who knows, maybe the next great Stokesia cultivar.Martynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-86063346640400962542011-07-08T13:14:51.727-05:002011-07-08T13:14:51.727-05:00I also grow stokesia although mine does stay a bit...I also grow stokesia although mine does stay a bit moist in the winter, it does fine. But in the summer here, they can be water hogs and need a bit of filtered afternoon shade. But they're worth the effort!!!
