NAME: Threadleaf bluestar(Amsonia hubrichtil)
Zone: 5 to 8
Size: Up to 4 feet tall and 5 feet wide
Conditions: Full sun to light shde; moist, well-drained soil
Peak Time:Early to late fall
In spring, threadleaf bluestar is topped by cluster of starry, baby blue flowers.
Its green foliage is lush for the rest of the season, offering a fine-textured cloud
to act as a foil for bolder plants nearby. In fall, the plant turns into a stunning
mass of brilliant yellow. Give this plant a few years to reach its full potential
because a large clump makes the biggest impact.
