Thread-leaf Blue StarAmsonia
Amsonia hubrichtii
Too long ignored, this hard-to-find perennial
adds pleasing texture to the border and delicacy to a
bouquet. In early summer, bushy clumps of elegant,
upright stems are crowned with steel blue buds
and starry gray-blue flowers held in graceful umbels.
We are especially captivated by the willowy
needlelike leaves, which eventually burnish to a brilliant
gold, and together with the persistent chocolate-hued
seed heads, bestow a rich autumn show. A southwestern U.S. native, Blue Star is undemanding and long-lived in any garden soil.
Blooms June–July. Size: 2'–3' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 4. AVAILABLE SPRING 2012 Amsonia hubrichtii (p-0916) Each $7.00
