Synonym(s) Stobaea purpurea Family asteraceae Life cycle tender perennial (Z8-10) Flowers purple (late summer) Light From seed germinate at room temperature detailed seed-starting info below Thistly taprooted plant with purple daisy flowers in summer. I was afraid we see nothing but leaves, because it's not supposed to be hardy here - but luckily, it bloomed in its first year. Purple daisies, rather nice. Not much of a show, I'm sure a second-year plant would be more of a dazzler...

Cool fuzzy new growth from the center of the rosette.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: big pond
