Bluestar

About this plant

Amsonia Tabernaemontana, or Bluestar, is a star performer in any garden, offering unique steel-blue, star-shaped flowers in late spring to early summer. Its fine-textured, lance-shaped leaves provide a soft, airy backdrop throughout the growing season, transforming into a brilliant golden-yellow in the fall for an extended season of interest. This adaptable perennial is perfect for borders, cottage gardens, or naturalized areas, providing a delicate yet impactful presence. Its upright, mounding habit creates a graceful form, making it an excellent choice for adding texture and soft color to your landscape design. Bluestar is remarkably low-maintenance once established, tolerating a range of soil conditions and resisting pests and diseases. Its beauty and ease of care make it a must-have for both novice and experienced gardeners seeking long-lasting appeal.
