Product Description
Amsonia 'Starstruck' PP32246 (25) Bare Root Plants
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.
Amsonia thrives in most gardens with little care. It is low-maintenance, easy to grow and trouble-free. Plant it in full sun or partial shade and moist soil of average fertility. If grown in too much shade or very rich soil, its habit will be open and floppy. This plant grows fairly large but it will not need to be divided for many years. Cutting the stems back to within 6-8" of the ground after flowering will result in fuller growth.
