Amsonia hubrichtii
Amsonia hubrichtii - Threadleaf Blue Star is known for its feathery, thread-like leaves that create a soft, billowy texture in the garden. In late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of light blue, star-shaped flowers. Then, in the fall, the foliage turns a stunning golden yellow, adding another season of interest.
Amsonia hubrichtii - Threadleaf Blue Star prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It's also relatively drought-tolerant once established, making it a good choice for gardens in drier climates. One of the great things about Amsonia hubrichtii - Threadleaf Blue Star is that it's resistant to deer and rabbits, making it a great addition to a wildlife-friendly garden.
Amsonia hubrichtii - Threadleaf Blue Star can grow up to 2-3 feet tall and wide, so it's a good idea to plant it in the middle or back of a border where its soft texture and beautiful blooms can be easily seen.
