Amsonia ciliata 'Halfway to Arkansas' (Fringed Bluestar cultivar) (1 gal)
Amsonias are perennials grown for two reasons: the small, pale blue flowers that occur from late spring to early summer and the deep green, needle-like foliage which turns a brilliant yellow-gold in the fall! This ‘Halfway to Arkansas’ cultivar offers a better rounded shape and uniform foliage over the parent plant, and is more compact for this species.
Full sun (6+ hours/day) is critical to produce this intense fall color. Mature plants grow into thick clumps 2 to 3 ft. tall and wide and will tolerate a wide variety of soils.
While they need moderate moisture to establish, ultimately they will be drought-tolerant. Attractive to bees and butterflies, they are bunny and deer resistant.
