Bluestar True 'Storm Cloud'

About this plant

Amsonia tabernaemontana 'Storm Cloud' is a show-stopping perennial from the Proven Winners® collection, boasting intensely dark, nearly black stems that emerge in spring. These unique stems provide a striking backdrop for the star-shaped, periwinkle-blue flowers that appear in late spring to early summer, creating a truly unforgettable garden presence. Beyond its exquisite floral display, 'Storm Cloud' offers exceptional year-round interest. Its finely textured, dark green foliage forms an elegant, mounding habit, and in autumn, it transforms into a brilliant golden-yellow, extending the season of color. This robust and adaptable native perennial is an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, or as a specimen plant, providing dynamic texture and color to any garden design with minimal fuss.
