Amsonia Tabernaemontana – Eastern Bluestar

Description

Amsonia tabernaemontana (Eastern Bluestar) needs cold stratification (4-8 weeks in moist media in the fridge) for good seed germination, thrives in full sun to part shade, well-drained, moist soils (drought-tolerant once established), offers stunning blue flowers for pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, and is valued for its low-maintenance, deer-resistant, shrubby form, excellent fall color (golden yellow), and use in native, cottage, or rain gardens.
