A butterfly magnet with light blue star-shaped blooms in spring attracts butterflies and other pollinators. After the flower show, prune back to the stems by 1/2 to encourage fresh growth, making a great backdrop for summer color. Willowleaf bluestar can get leggy in the shade and may require staking, but it is still worth it for that added woodland bloom! Well adaptable to moist locations in both sun or partially shaded areas and also shows drought resistance in shaded areas.  Bluestar attracts pollinators in spring and lights up the fall garden with brilliant yellow foliage color.
