Blue Star Flower Hubrichtii

Common Name: Blue Star Flower

Botanical Name: Amsonia hubrichtii

Variety: Hubrichtii

Blossom Color: Blue

Bloom Time: May-Jun

Zone: 4 to 9

Exposure: Sun or Part Shade

Mature Height: 36"

Mature Width: 36"

Notes: This southern native has very narrow, needle-like leaves that line the stems like bottle brushes. Surprisingly, they are soft as silk to the touch. From late spring thru early summer, 2-3" wide clusters of small, light blue, star-shaped flowers are borne above the short mound of ferny foliage. After blooming, it quickly grows to reach a height of about 3 feet. Gorgeous fall color.
