Amsonia tabernaemontana 'Starstruck' brings refined, season-long structure to your garden with soft, sky-blue, starry blooms in late spring and clean, narrow foliage that stays attractive through summer.
Plant it where you want an easy, clump-forming perennial that looks good in mixed borders, native plantings, and cottage-style beds. It typically reaches about 20-22 inches tall and fills out to roughly 32-38 inches wide, making it a strong mid-border anchor that also works in masses.
For best performance, give it full sun to part shade and average to moist, well-drained soil. Once established it handles short dry spells, but steady moisture in the first season helps it settle in and develop a deep, resilient root system. In fall, the foliage often turns rich golden tones for an extra wave of color before dormancy.
Maintenance is simple: cut stems back in late fall or in early spring before new growth appears. Pair it with other sun to part-shade perennials that share similar moisture needs, and enjoy a plant that is generally unbothered by deer and valued by pollinators.
