Amsonia tabernaemontana

Eastern Bluestar

Eastern bluestar is an elegant, low-maintenance perennial with willow-like leaves and ice-blue, star-shaped flowers in loose clusters in May and June. The narrow foliage turns a stunning golden yellow in autumn, making the plant decorative across two seasons. Over the years it forms a sturdy, vase-shaped silhouette.
