Amsonia tabernaemontana 'Storm Cloud' - Emergent black stems carry beautiful blue terminal flowers. The black is very evident underscoring the flower clusters. An exceptional compact Blue Star, 'Storm Cloud' grows only 24 inches tall and in time may spread to 36 inches. A mature plant will exhibit an almost shrub-like affect in the summer garden. Typical green lances of leaves turn gold in autumn. Perennials with multiple seasons of interest garner greater notice at Quackin' Grass and 'Storm Cloud' fits this criteria. Hans Hansen and Tony Avent discovered this eventually named selection from a forested location in Bibb County, Alabama. Part sun in fertile, moisture retaining soil. Established plant from division or cutting.
