Amsonia illustris
OZARK BLUESTAR
SKU: 2053-010
Ozark Bluestar is also know as Shining Bluestar, Showy Bluestar, Missouri Bluestar, and Swamp Bluestar. It features prolific clusters of star-like periwinkle blossoms, often bunched so tightly together that they appear as a much larger looking bloom. The blooms appear early in the season, and provide nectar for many butterflies and bees before most other food sources are available. In the fall the foliage turns a stunning golden hue, often keeping its leaves and color well past the first frost. Amsonia illustris is very tolerant of sun or shade, and tolerant of most soil conditions including gravel or clay. A USA native plant.
