10 Amsonia tabernaemontana Seeds Eastern Bluestar Native Perennial Blue Star Flower

Amsonia tabernaemontana, commonly known as Eastern Bluestar, is a native herbaceous perennial prized for its clusters of soft, star-shaped pale blue blossoms that appear in late spring. Its upright, clump-forming habit and willow-like green foliage create a graceful presence in borders, meadows, and naturalized areas, with foliage that turns an attractive golden yellow in autumn.
This easygoing perennial works beautifully in cottage gardens, pollinator plantings, and native landscape designs, where its nectar-rich flowers draw bees and other beneficial insects. Plant it toward the middle or back of a border, pair it with ornamental grasses and coneflowers, or allow it to naturalize in a sunny meadow setting.
