Amsonia Starstruck #1

Common Name: Blue Star

Although this plant will catch your eye in the spring with its sparkling star-shaped, sky blue flowers, you’ll be wowed by what follows. An incredibly full habit of vibrant green leaves with lighter midribs and dark olive stems is the perfect size for impact without getting too tall. Compared to ‘Storm Cloud’, ‘Starstruck’ is more compact, has wider leaves, and blooms about 1-2 weeks later in the spring.

This easy care, heat and humidity tolerant, deer resistant perennial is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for low maintenance or native perennials.
