Ozark Bluestar Live Plant | Amsonia illustris | Native Pollinator Perennial Starter Plant

Bring graceful beauty and four-season interest to your landscape with Ozark Bluestar, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its clusters of star-shaped sky-blue flowers, glossy green foliage, and brilliant golden fall color. Amsonia illustris, commonly known as Ozark Bluestar, is a hardy North American native perennial admired for its elegant appearance and outstanding landscape performance. It is an excellent choice for pollinator gardens, native plantings, cottage gardens, woodland edges, borders, and naturalized landscapes. With proper care, it produces abundant blooms in late spring to early summer.

Ozark Bluestar thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-draining soil, although it tolerates average garden conditions once established. Its narrow, glossy foliage creates a soft, airy texture throughout the growing season before turning a vibrant golden-yellow in autumn. The nectar-rich blue flowers attract native bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, making this long-lived perennial a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.

You will receive one healthy, greenhouse-grown Ozark Bluestar starter live plant, carefully packaged for safe arrival.
