Missouri Botanical Garden: Amsonia tabernaemontana, commonly called bluestar, is a Missouri native herbaceous perennial which occurs most frequently in rich, open woods and thickets in the southwestern part of the State. An erect, clump-forming plant which features terminal, pyramidal clusters of 3/4", soft light blue, star-like flowers in late spring atop erect, leafy stems growing 2-3' tall. Narrow, willow-shaped, dull green foliage may turn an attractive yellow in fall.

After flowering it grows to ~3 feet and looks like a shrub. Golden orange fall color. Patio. Amsonia were named after Dr. Charles Amson, 18th century Virginia physician!
