Amsonia tabernaemontana- Eastern Bluestar

Description

Eastern Bluestar (Amsonia tabernaemontana) is a native perennial known for its striking blue flowers and vibrant fall color. It grows in clumps, reaching 2 to 3 feet tall, and thrives in full sun to partial shade. The plant features lance-shaped, dark green leaves that provide a lush backdrop throughout the growing season. In spring, clusters of small, star-shaped blue flowers bloom, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. As autumn approaches, the foliage transforms into golden yellow, adding visual interest to the landscape. Eastern Bluestar is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance, sustainable gardens. It’s particularly suited for borders, native plant gardens, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.
