This hardy, low-maintenance species brings a soft, natural texture to borders, meadow plantings, and pollinator-friendly landscapes, and its neat, shrub-like habit holds up well through the season.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn the garden, Ozark Bluestar works beautifully in perennial borders, cottage-style beds, rain gardens, and native plantings, where its nectar-rich blooms draw bees and other pollinators. Its finely textured foliage forms a rounded clump that turns a warm golden yellow in autumn, extending its seasonal interest. Seeds can be started indoors or sown directly in prepared ground for a naturalized look.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Amsonia illustris\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Herbaceous perennial\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, clump-forming\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Moist, well-drained soil\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 5 to 9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: 2 to 4 weeks with cold stratification\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Surface sow and press lightly, do not bury deeply\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 18 to 24 inches\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Hardy native perennial with pale blue spring blooms and golden fall foliage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67664812408968,"sku":"ANNISA-495","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/il_fullxfull.7962974883_jr1q_e48a2688-58fd-4269-ba61-4cdde8bf1843.jpg?v=1791899474","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/10-seeds-ozark-bluestar-amsonia-illustris-native-perennial","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
