| Description |
Amsonia 'Blue Ice' 5/2021 Blue Star- (White Flower Farm) Blue Star, Mature size: 12-18in, Dark Lavender Blue, USDA Hardiness Zone 4-9, Michigan Bloom Month 5b-6, In Garden Bed p1 for 11.1 YEARS (Lone). Planted in 2010. Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Blue Ice’ is a bluestar cultivar that is very similar in appearance to A. tabernaemontana, except it is much more compact and produces darker blue flowers. This is an erect, clump-forming plant that features terminal, pyramidal clusters of star-like, dark lavender-blue flowers (3/4” across) in late spring atop erect, leafy stems growing to only 15-18” tall. Narrow, willow-shaped, dark green foliage turns an attractive bright yellow in fall. Although ‘Blue Ice’ was reportedly discovered growing with A. tabernaemontana seedlings in a greenhouse at White Flower Farm, the parentage has apparently not yet been definitively determined. Family Apocynaceae. Amsonia is native to moist woods and banks but reportedly will grow in just about any moist soil in full sun to part sun. If grown in too much shade or rich soil it can become open and floppy.Stems can be cut back to 6 to 8in. after flowering to produce a fuller growth for fall color. Patio. A chance seedling of A. tabernaemontana. Planted in 2010. Photo by F.D.Richards, SE Michigan.
