Amsonia hubrichtii Blue Star, Narrow Leaf Blue Star #1: This low maintenance native plant is a favorite here at Behmerwald. It grows beautiful powdery blue flowers in the spring and bright green, needle-like leaves throughout the summer, which turn a gorgeous shade of gold for the fall. It does well in sun or partial shade and grows about 2-3 feet tall and wide. With its unique, needle-like appearance, it would be an eye catching addition to any landscaping.
