Stokesia 'Mary Gregory' is an exciting selection of our native (NC to Louisiana) Stokes Aster, first introduced to the mainstream trade by NC's former Niche Gardens. The plant was discovered in the 1970s by the late Thomas "Henry" Suydam (Jimmy Dorsey/Benny Goodman band member), of Columbia, SC, who shared it with his local gardening friend, Mary Gregory, whose name it now bears. Starting for us in June, this Stokes' aster is topped with creamy yellow flowers, similar in color to Coreopsis 'Moonbeam'. For us, Stokesia 'Mary Gregory' flowers consistently throughout the summer. Part to full sun in average to very moist soils are best for this great pollinator attractant.
