At less than 1' tall, this little cutie makes neat and tidy mounds that are perfect for the front of the border. In mid-summer, Stokesia 'Purple Pixie' explodes into color with dozens of large violet-blue flowers followed by sporadic rebloom in the fall.

Plants can be cut back to basal foliage after they finish blooming. * Attracts Butterflies * Deer Resistant * Rabbit Resistant
