    Amsonia 'Blue Ice'

    Amsonia 'Blue Ice' is an impressive plant, requires little care, is deer resistant, and can handle drought. Did we mention that it is also a NATIVE?

    This impressive Amsonia is shorter and more compact than 'Blue Star' with 2' wide mounds of narrow, dark green foliage that erupts with large clusters of rich, dark lavender-blue flowers. The foliage turns a lovely golden yellow for fall interest. We love this plant for its year-round interest ~ gorgeous blooms in the spring into summer and slowly turning to warm golden hues for the fall. A perfect landscape plant.

  • 🌱 Planting & Location

    • Light: Plant in full sun to part sun.

      Best fall color in full sun ☀️
      Flowers last a bit longer with afternoon shade in hot climates 🌤️

    • Space: Give each plant enough room to form a 2' wide mound so it can show off its shape.
    • Use: Great in borders, mixed beds, or as a low hedge. Also beautiful in container gardens.

    🌼 Soil & Water

    • Soil: Prefers moist, loamy, well-drained soil, but is very adaptable.
    • Watering:

      Keep soil evenly moist the first growing season to help roots establish 💧
      Once established, it becomes drought tolerant and only needs occasional watering.

    • Avoid spots that stay soggy, especially in winter.

    🌸 Growth & Seasonal Interest

    • Forms compact, 2' mounds of narrow, dark green foliage.
    • Spring to early summer: Covered in rich, dark lavender-blue, star-shaped flowers 💙
    • Summer: Clean, dark green foliage adds texture to the garden.
    • Fall: Foliage turns a lovely golden yellow, adding warm autumn color 🍂

    🌿 Care & Maintenance

    • Low maintenance: Requires very little care once established.
    • Fertilizer: Not a heavy feeder. If desired, apply a light layer of compost in spring.
    • Pruning:

      After flowering, you can lightly trim the plant to keep it tidy and encourage dense growth.
      Cut back old stems in late fall or early spring before new growth appears.

    • Division: Clumps can be divided every few years if they become crowded. Divide in early spring or fall.

    🦋 Wildlife & Benefits

    • Deer resistant 🦌✋
    • Drought tolerant once established 🌵
    • Attracts butterflies and pollinators 🦋🐝
    • Great as a cut flower for arrangements.

    ✅ Quick Success Tips

    • Plant in sunny, well-drained soil.
    • Water regularly the first year, then only during long dry spells.
    • Enjoy blue blooms in spring, fresh green foliage in summer, and golden color in fall.

    This combination of beauty, toughness, and low maintenance makes Blue Star 'Blue Ice' a fantastic, easy-to-grow choice for almost any garden.
