Amsonia (Bluestar)

Amsonia, commonly known as Bluestar, is a graceful perennial valued for its soft blue, star-shaped flowers and fine-textured, feathery foliage. Blooming in late spring to early summer, the delicate blooms are followed by foliage that turns a brilliant golden-yellow in fall, providing multi-season interest. Amsonia is versatile and low-maintenance, thriving in a variety of soil conditions, including moist or well-drained areas. Its upright, clumping habit makes it an excellent choice for borders, mixed perennial beds, or naturalistic plantings. This native plant is drought-tolerant once established and an excellent addition to pollinator-friendly gardens.
