30 Eastern Bluestar Seeds Amsonia tabernaemontana Heirloom Perennial Flower
Eastern Bluestar (Amsonia tabernaemontana) is a hardy herbaceous perennial prized for its clusters of star-shaped, powder-blue flowers that appear in late spring above upright, willow-like green foliage. This heirloom native beauty forms a tidy, rounded clump and is a long-lived, low-maintenance choice for borders, cottage gardens, pollinator plantings, and naturalized areas.
Eastern Bluestar offers multi-season interest, with soft blue blooms followed by attractive green foliage that turns a warm golden-yellow in autumn. It works beautifully in mixed perennial beds, meadow-style plantings, and alongside other sun-loving flowers, and its blooms are visited by bees and other pollinators. Grow it as a backbone perennial where its neat habit and dependable performance can be enjoyed year after year.
