Butterscotch™ Bluestar (Amsonia) is an easygoing, long-lived, and substantial perennial in the milkweed family that bears clusters of starry, powder-blue flowers just as spring turns to summer. Plants are exceptionally fine-textured, composed of many unbranched stalks arising from a single base and covered with elegant, willow-like leaves. This cultivar, known for its superior, dense form and vivid fall color, makes a superb textural addition, filler, or contrast in garden beds between upright neighbors or those with large leaves, with which it contrasts beautifully. Amsonia hubrichtii is native to the Eastern US and appreciates regular irrigation in more xeric, Western haunts. Best in soils of acidic or relatively neutral pH.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
