Eastern Bluestar

Amsonia tabernaemontana

Eastern Bluestar is renowned for its charming spring blooms and vibrant autumn foliage. The plant forms a bushy, upright clump that bursts into a profusion of pale blue, starry flowers in the spring, attracting early-season pollinators. As the seasons change, its narrow, green leaves transition to a handsome golden-yellow, providing a dramatic display in the fall landscape. Not only is it visually appealing, but it's also notably resistant to pests and diseases, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners.
