Amsonia is a three-times beautiful plant—first for its spring flowers, second for the summer foliage, and third for its fall color.
The star-shaped flowers bloom in dense terminal clusters, are pale blue to steel blue, appear in late spring, and somewhat resemble those of tall phlox. It forms nice, dense clumps, but in the shade the plants are taller and less dense. The summer foliage is medium green and reminds of willow trees, and the fall color is a vibrant, rich gold.
It is drought and clay soil tolerant. A true work horse, this is a very reliable, adaptable, and tough native perennial, but it is unfortunately still underused in horticulture! An easy-to-grow plant which is best massed in informal settings such as native plant gardens, borders, big containers, shade gardens or open woodland areas. Perfect perennial background or hedge for lower plants.
Blooming Time: May
Size: 36'' tall and wide
USDA Zones: 3 to 8
Culture: sun, half shade, dappled shade, average soil to heavier clayish soil, average moisture
Moisture Needs: medium
Origin: native to the South-Central and Eastern United States (USDA map)
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes / no
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: yes / yes, attractive to long-tongued insects, hummingbird moths and butterflies
Attracts Hummingbirds: yes
Pot Size: 3.5" x 5" deep pot
Plant Combinations: may be combined with many perennials - both sun loving and half-shade loving plants, as well as hostas

AMSONIA TABERNAEMONTANA - EASTERN BLUESTAR
Healthy and strong plants shipped and out of the box. Ordered in the autumn, so they were already turning color or cut back, but I can tell these are going to be gorgeous next year.

Eastern Bluestar
We ordered a fair sized group of 7 different types of plants. All of the plants came to us well packaged and were shipped to us quite quickly. All of the plants arrived in good shape and they are now thriving in our garden.
