Native perennials are trending, and Bluestar is the classic North American perennial! ‘Storm Cloud’ is and improved selection that performs well for both northern and southern growers. In spring, new stems emerge near-black with leaves that are very dark green with silver veins. The stems stay dark throughout spring. Light periwinkle blue, star-shaped flowers completely cover the foliage in late spring, and rebloom for many weeks afterward. Its wide, mounded habit lends itself well to be used in place of shrubs in the landscape.
