Add graceful texture and long-lasting seasonal interest to the garden with this exceptional Amsonia. In late spring to early summer, abundant clusters of soft powdery blue flowers rise on reddish stems above a mound of fine, willowy foliage. The narrow bright green leaves create a soft, airy look through summer before transforming in fall to rich shades of yellow, deep gold, and warm butterscotch.

Long-lived and easy to grow, this low-maintenance perennial offers beauty through three seasons. Plant in drifts of 3–5 for a striking mass planting and dramatic fall color display.
