Amsonia tabernaemontana 'Storm Cloud'

• Common name: Bluestar
• Native perennials are trending, and Bluestar is the classic North American perennial!
• Amsonia is a new genus to the Proven Winners® Perennials lineup, and ‘Storm Cloud’ is a very exciting new variety that performs well for both northern and southern gardens
• In spring, new stems emerge near-black with leaves that are very dark green with silver veins
• Stems stay dark throughout spring
• Light periwinkle blue, star-shaped flowers completely cover the foliage in late spring, and rebloom for many weeks afterward
• Although the main interest of this plant is in spring, it maintains a great garden presence throughout the summer and fall
• Its wide, mounded habit lends itself well to be used in place of shrubs in the landscape
• Younger plants will have more of a vase-like habit, but make sure to give this plant some space for when it reaches its mature size
• Easy care, heat and humidity tolerant, deer resistant perennial is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for low maintenance or native perennials
