Stokesia laevis Divinity 1G

(Stokes' Aster)

‘Divinity’ doesn’t just brighten a garden — it anchors it. Its blooms open a soft creamy yellow and mature into crisp white, creating a steady glow that pollinators can spot from a distance. To bees, this Stokesia is a familiar signal: a native‑lineage plant offering dependable mid‑summer pollen when other sources run thin.

Its compact, mounded foliage stays clean and deep green, even in heat. Once established, it handles drought, shrugs off deer and rabbits, and keeps blooming with a quick deadhead. Plant ‘Divinity’ and you’re planting a summer‑long feeding station that mirrors the rhythm of Maryland’s coastal plain ecology.
