Bluestar

This is the Amsonia most familiar to gardeners. This Bluestar has broader oval leaves and the blue star shaped flowers at the ends of the stems typical of the Amsonias. It grows well in deep moist soil in partial shade. Alan Armitage in Herbaceous Perennial Plants says: "Blue star flower is always on my list of 'no brainers.' Plant and get out of the way." This species is native to Eastern U.S.
