Common Bluestar (Amsonia tabernaemontana) blooms in mid-spring with clusters of powder blue star-shaped flowers sitting atop the upright stems. A very popular garden member, this clumping perennial forms a neat and attractive 3’ tall plant at maturity. The narrow, willow-like foliage looks good all summer, and in the fall the leaves turn a striking yellow-gold.
Easy to grow in average soil, Bluestar prefers moist, well-drained soil in full sun or light shade, and is fairly drought tolerant once established. Long-lived and adaptable, this native of open woodlands and meadows is at home in New Jersey.
Impenetrable to insect pests and foraging herbivores like deer and rabbits. Flowers attract swallowtail butterflies and other pollinators.
