Amsonia hubritchii aka Arkansas Blue Star and Threadleaf Blue Star<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here it is with Beezus flying past–Just a Girl With a Hammer<\/a>‘s dog. I tried to catch Bee in front of it as a tribute to Halloween. Alas, I did not.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Beezus flies past the moon, almost.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is not enhanced color. It really is this flamboyant.<\/p>\n

Amsonia hubritchii aka Arkansas Blue Star<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Pretty good when it’s green too.<\/p>\n

\"\"

And it’s delicate little flower.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Sweet flower on Amsonia hubritchii aka Arkansas Blue Star. Ah, thus the Blue Star moniker.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A couple years ago, I apparently paired the Amsonia with Canna musafolia ‘Rubra’. I should do that again. The colors are terrific together. And I love the contrasting foliage size.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Amsonia hubritchii and Canna ‘Musafolia Red’<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Amsonia is hardy in zones 5a-8b. The Canna ‘Musafoli Red’ aka Banana Canna is hardy 8a-10b. Some say it’s good to zone 7a. Since I lost mine here in zone 8, I wonder about that. That was a rough year, though I don’t remember exactly which one.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Close up of the lush summer foliage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s Beezus and sibs when they were my foster pups. Mister spelled the mom, Sweet Pea. He stayed with those puppies all day every day for over a month. And Sweet Pea lay on the sofa.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Mister with Beezus, Birdie, and Pinky.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mister and Beezus are still pals, but Chiquita claims BFF status.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Chiquita and Beezus headed for the Rhodocoma capensis<\/a> aka their fort.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We’d love to hear about your fall favorites–and see your pictures.<\/p>\n

Cheers<\/p>\n
