Eastern Blue Star is an erect mounding perennial with narrow willow-like olive green foliage with silver veining that turns rich gold yellow in fall. Pyramidal clusters of small light blue star-shaped flowers bloom at the tips of the stem in late spring. Best fall colors are in full sun and consistent moisture, but flowers last longer with afternoon shade in the South. Heat tolerant.
