| I think this is a Stoker's Aster. It is bluish in color and it closes at night. As you can see the coneflowers and unbloomed bee balms are crowding around its spot. I what to transplant it but afraid I will kill it. Any advice is appreciated. |

| I really like the look of the flower in a "Stokes". Given that it is blooming now and the summer can only get hotter might you consider moving it in the cooler Fall? |
|
| Ooh, that looks nice with the coneflower. I too would wait till fall to transplant. Dee |

| I just saw the first bloom open on mine today (zone 5). Mine are kind of floppy if I give them too much room. I think they actually look best with plants nearby to keep the growth supported. Bee balm, however, might take it over. |

| Thank you all. I wasn't going to move it now, later in the fall. The bee balm is bossy. |
|
| LOL. Bossy. That's a good word for it! :) |
