For the little story, the 3 young plants stayed more than 15 days in the parcel at the local post office, which forgot to notify me, and well, the neck was still fresh and despite the yellowing of the plant due to lack of light, they all recovered and produced a lot of flowers for a long period. I highly recommend it!

Description

Close to the Aster, the Kalimeris incisa 'Blue Star' is a lovely perennial with a soft blue flowering.

Perennial with an upright habit, composed of a very "incised" light green foliage; the Kalimeris 'Blue Star' forms small daisy-like flowers in early summer, with a diameter of 2 to 3 cm (1in), in a beautiful light blue colour.

Easy to grow, this Kalimeris is very tolerant and can be grown in any exposure, in rich, fresh, and light soils. Plant it at the edge of a sunny flower bed alongside yarrows, perennial geraniums, campanulate flowers, and bush roses.
