| I was tired to seeing my Stokesia ("Colour Wheel" I think) always flopping like some ground cover. So I had dug them up and gave them away. And yet today while in a nursery I was very impressed with the Stokesia 'Peachie's Pick'. Wonderful blue flowers on a compact, sturdy, upright plant! Is this just nuresery shenanigans or is this plant is as it appears ie floriferous and upright? |

| Mine never flopped and it was very lovely. It was the only Stokes I've ever had, and from its habit I never would have thought they tended to flop - it was THAT upright! Unfortunately, I think I had it in a place of too much moisture in spring, and it only lasted 2 years. Very long blooming...as dry as it's been here I've been thinking about trying it again... |

| I prefer Klaus Jelitto, the blooms are larger and I very much like the color. It doesn't get floppy for me but admittedly the foliage isn't front of the border foliage... |
