Stokesia 
Cornflower Aster, Stokes' Aster 
3882 Cyanea |C] The beautiful, light 
blue flowers measure 3 to 4 in. across 
and bear resemblance to both Corn¬ 
flowers and Single Asters. They are 
borne on long, sturdy stems, which 
make them most desirable for cutting.

underestimated, as blue flowers are 
scarce when this gem among the per¬ 
ennials blooms. July to September.
