Blue Ice Bluestar
Description
Description
AMSONIA ‘Blue Ice’. 12-16″ tall, 18-24″ spread, Part shade-full sun, late spring-early summer bloom. Gorgeous plump navy-blue buds open to vivid periwinkle blue, star-shaped flowers. The bright green, compact, slowly spreading foliage forms the perfect background for the delightful blossoms and then turns a rich shade of yellow in fall. Attracts butterflies. Deer resistant. Zones 3-9. Potted in 3″ pot.
Amsonia thrives in most gardens with little care. It is low-maintenance, easy to grow and trouble-free. Plant it in full sun or partial shade and moist soil of average fertility. If grown in too much shade or very rich soil, its habit will be open and floppy. This plant grows fairly large but it will not need to be divided for many years. Cutting the stems back to within 6-8" of the ground after flowering will result in fuller growth.
