    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Purple flowers, much darker than the species, make this selection by plantsman Ted Stephens particularly striking. This clumping perennial, long-blooming in summer, grows to only 12-18" tall with 3-4", lanceolate leaves as a backdrop for the daisy-like flowers. Shearing can promote rebloom. Full sun to part shade; accepting of summer moisture and some summer drought as well as hot and humid conditions. Evergreen in USDA zone 8 and frost hardy in zone 5.
