‘Short Stack’ dwarf blue star (Amsonia montana ‘Short Stack’) grows only about 1 foot high—half the size of the species—making it perfect for limited spaces. Sky-blue flowers appear in early spring above clean, dark green foliage. Best in full to partial sun with moist, well-drained soil. Use in masses or along bed edges.
Sow seeds in containers spring or autumn; divide in spring; root softwood cuttings early summer. Rust.
