Amsonia Hubrichtii Butterscotch

About this plant

This superior Bluestar variety offers a unique aesthetic with its delicate, needle-like leaves throughout the spring and summer, creating a soft, airy presence in the garden. In late spring, clusters of star-shaped, pale blue flowers emerge, adding a subtle beauty before the main event: a breathtaking autumnal display. As temperatures cool, the vibrant green foliage ignites into a spectacular butterscotch-gold, providing an unforgettable show that lasts for weeks. Its upright, mounding habit makes it an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, or as a striking specimen plant. Exceptionally low-maintenance and long-lived, 'Butterscotch' promises years of reliable beauty. Beyond its ornamental appeal, Amsonia Hubrichtii 'Butterscotch' is remarkably resilient, tolerating a range of conditions once established. It's an ideal choice for gardeners seeking seasonal interest, drought tolerance, and an attraction for local pollinators.

Care & maintenance

Amsonia Hubrichtii Butterscotch is a very low-maintenance perennial. Cut back foliage to about 6 inches in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges to maintain a tidy appearance. No serious pest or disease issues.
