Amsonia montana
Blue Star, Dwarf Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Dwarf Blue Star is a beautiful plant for spring flowers, summer foliage, and fall color. Its dense terminal clusters of pale, steel blue, star-shaped flowers appear in late spring and resemble very fine garden phlox heads. Grown in full sun, Dwarf Blue Star forms a full clump to 2 feet in height but when grown in the shade, plants are taller and less dense. Summer foliage is willowy and medium green, and fall color is a good rich gold. Give this perennial average to good soil. It is long-lived, trouble-free, and should be used more often. Good companions include Columbine, Alumroot, Beardtongue, Firepink, Green and Gold, Wood Asters, Indigos, and Glade Savory. Cat# 1008
