How to use it. Bluestar is a great plant to have in your arsenal, as its unique texture, flowers and brilliant fall color create a unique garden view during three seasons of the year. Scatter Bluestar among grasses or other finely textured plants to create a soft meadow-like landscape that would make Piet Oudolf proud. And when other plants go dormant or reveal their own seasonal color, Bluestar’s clear gold hue is an attractive garden foil. Planted beside rocks, Bluestar creates a soft juxtaposition against the rough texture. Bluestar’s ability to grow in moist soils makes it an ideal candidate for a rain garden, where tolerance of both extreme drought and moisture is necessary. The plant grows naturally in the Southeast United States and is an attractive choice for a native woodland garden. Mass for optimum effect.
