Hubricht's Blue Star

 

Hubricht's blue star is an attractive perennial flower.

Having won several awards from plant associations, it has three nice qualities. First, it has thin, thread-like leaves on upright, arching stems. Second, in spring it produces powdery blue, star-like flowers at the ends of the stems. Third, the leaves turn a gorgeous bright gold in fall

Hubricht's bluestar is an erect, clump-forming plant and very easy to care for.
