Any opinions on Honeysong Purple and Divinity?

I've given up on my clumps of Klaus Jellitto, I haven't seen a bloom in years (yes, YEARS), and I don't know why - they used to perform beautifully. I do love those blooms, though! So I thought I'd try new plants, picked up three Honeysong Purple for $10 each. They also had a couple Divinity white ones, I can go back for those.

RE: Stokes aster

No comment on the cultivars you named but general comments on Stokesia: my seed-grown, winter-sown plants come back every year, bloom generously mid-late July and produce lots of seeds afterwards in the fall. 'Klaus Jelitto' is a vigorous grower in my slightly acidic sandy loam.

I've attached a link (below) with additional information on 'Klaus Jelitto' that may be of interest.

My plants are growing in various beds, in part-sun mostly.

Here is a link that might be useful: Missouri Botanical Garden
