Kalimeris incisa, commonly called kalimeris, is a clump-forming perennial that is native to meadows and open ground in northeast Asia. Specific epithet means deeply and irregularly cut. ‘Blue Star’ is a clump-forming perennial that is noted for its long summer bloom of daisy-like flowers (1” diameter) featuring light blue rays and yellow centers. The flowers are very similar in appearance to those of aster and boltonia. Plants typically grow to 12-18” tall. Oblong-lanceolate green leaves (to 3-4” long). Synonymous with Boltonia incisa ‘Blue Star’.
