How to Use Starstruck Blue Star in the Landscape

Make the most of your perennial borders with a low-slung ribbon of bright blue flowers. Plant them two feet apart for a lush look that fills in quickly.

They'll grow well in partial shade or full sun. Starstruck is a great choice to jazz existing foundation plantings that need a little boost.

Partner them with a plethora of spring-blooming bulbs. Place them in front of modern Landscape Roses or airy Ornamental Grasses.

These hard-working, multi-seasonal charmers play well with others! Create a fantastic Pollinator Garden in front of your Victory Garden.

Build a narrow new bed and fill it with Monarda, Swamp Milkweed, Allium bulbs and Lobelia. Line it with Starstruck Blue Star. Pop in a few Blueberry or Blackberry bushes behind as a fruiting backdrop.

Adding plenty of flowers brings pollinators to your annual veggie plants and fruiting trees. You'll have eye candy, and increase the size of your harvests.

If you live in an area with high pressure from deer and rabbits, weave these pretty perennials into your planting design. They don't like the taste of this one...use it to protect your other plants from getting nibbled.

They look great in oversized seasonal containers, too. Count on them as a terrific "Filler" plant for spring bloom, summer green and electrifying fall color.

#ProPlantTips for Care

They'll perform in either full sun, or partial shade. They need at least four hours of sunshine a day.

Starstruck does great in well-drained soil that sheds water quickly after a rainfall. If your soil stays soggy, bring in extra soil to elevate your plants in a raised bed.

We recommend applying a consistent, medium amount of water to keep your plants in tip-top shape. Mulch is a great idea to keep their root systems cool, but please pull it back away from touching the stems.

Prune them down in early spring to an inch or two from the ground. Add flowering plant fertilizer or a top-dressing of compost at that time, if desired.
