Newly emerging 3rd-year plant, late April Family apocynaceae Life cycle perennial Flowers blue Size 15" Light Only amsonia species native to China. From an online photo, it looks similar to A. tabernaemontana in leaf and in flower, but perhaps with a more stoutly upright habit. If our seedlings grow to maturity, we'll be able to tell differences with more confidence. It didn't bloom in its second season, but looks to be quite robust as it enters its third...

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: side garden, orchard nursery area
