Stokesia Mini Mels
A dwarf version of Mels Blue
Mels Blue is a lovely, upward-facing Stoke's Aster with the deepest periwinkle blue flowers. Along comes Mini Mels, with its smaller size, plentiful flowers, and compact, tight habit that is so perfect for containers at retail, in porch and patio pots, and in smaller spaces, where you'd love to have a Stoke's aster, but don't have the room.
