Amsonia x Butterscotch™ (Blue Star)

 

 

 

 

 

An all-around winner, Butterscotch™ is an improvement on an already incredible plant, Amsonia hubrichtii. Sky blue star-shaped flowers bloom from lovely reddish stems in the spring. The bright green, delicately narrow leaves create an airy texture all summer before the real show starts when they turn a gorgeous golden caramel hue. This selection is also noted for its improved diseases resistance.
