    Named after the famed German seedsman, this cultivar had to be pretty special... and it is! a its larger mophead flowers on 1-2' stems are also a much deeper blue; easy and enjoyed in border or vase. S/M/GDr

    Huge bluish purple cornflower-like daisies are born in spring to early summer on this durable and reliable US native perennial. Klaus Jiletto has some of the largest flowers of any Stokesia Daisy cultivar. This is a highly recommended clump forming native perennial and it's easy to see why with moderate drought resistance, few pest or disease problems, deer and rabbit resistance and it revels in the heat and sun of our southern summers. Plants readily multiply into dense clumps. Super easy and tough.
