Description
It emerges in spring with willowy foliage that forms a neat, rounded mound. In late spring and early summer, loose clusters of half inch, star-shaped, blue blossoms cover the plant, giving rise to the common name blue star. After the flowers fade, the plant continues to look good in the garden, and in fall, the foliage turns bright yellow-gold. Amsonia blue star plants are at home along woodland streams or in cottage gardens, and they also do well in beds and borders.
