If you love the popular 'Storm Cloud' bluestar (Amsonia), but don't have the space, then 'Starstruck' bluestar was cultivated for you! It only reaches 20 inches tall and 38 inches wide in a mounding habit, making it easier to tuck between other perennials or shrubs in your garden. This native perennial is a pollinator's dream with clusters of sky blue flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer.
'Starstruck' is easy to grow, deer-resistant, tolerant of heat and humidity, and perfect for gardeners of any level. The flowers also look lovely in cutting arrangements, just be sure to leave some for the bees and butterflies!
