Where should I plant Amsonia Blue Ice?

Amsonia Blue Ice will surely become a favorite for any gardener!  In late spring, Blue Ice forms clusters of navy blue buds at the ends of each stem that open to periwinkle blue star shaped flowers. The bright green foliage of this erect, clump-forming plant turns a rich shade of yellow in the fall. This creates a new dimension of color for your fall landscape.

Blue Ice is very easy to grow and maintain, hardy, and once established, it is quite drought resistant.  It does well in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade.  It is adaptable to most conditions, however if it is too shady it may topple over

Amsonia Blue Ice can be used in borders, rock gardens, cottage gardens or open woodland areas; planted in masses, it is simply magnificent!  Its compact size also lends itself as an edging plant too.  This perennial  plant grows 12 to 16 inches in height and thrives in zones 3-9
