Description
Bring season-long charm to your Massachusetts landscape with Butterscotch™ Blue Star, a compact, mounded perennial known for its soft, fern-like foliage and steel blue, star-shaped flowers. Blooming from late spring into early summer, the delicate blossoms form clusters that look beautiful up close and make excellent cut flowers. Its fine-textured greenery offers a graceful contrast in borders, woodland gardens, and naturalized spaces. Butterscotch™ Blue Star is easy to grow and deer-resistant, making it a reliable, low-maintenance choice.
As the seasons shift, the green foliage transforms into a warm butterscotch gold in fall, bringing a splash of autumn color to Massachusetts gardens. Its neat, mounded form adds structure without overwhelming nearby plants, and it performs beautifully in full sun to partial shade. Butterscotch™ Blue Star requires minimal care—just a quick trim in late fall—and it rewards gardeners with multi-season appeal and natural elegance.
Each plant comes in a #1 (1 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
