'Storm Cloud' Bluestar is a striking perennial that offers year-round beauty with its unique seasonal display. In spring, new stems emerge in a near-black hue, accompanied by dark green leaves veined with silver, creating a dramatic contrast. The stems retain their deep color throughout the season. Late spring brings a stunning profusion of light periwinkle blue, star-shaped flowers that completely cover the foliage, continuing to bloom for many weeks. While spring is the height of its beauty, 'Storm Cloud' maintains a strong garden presence throughout the summer and fall. Its wide, mounded habit makes it an excellent choice for replacing shrubs in the landscape, offering both visual appeal and structural interest.

Our perennial plants are entering their natural dormancy phase. As part of this process, foliage and blooms are browning and dying back—this is completely normal! We give the plants a hard trim in our greenhouse to support them as they conserve energy for the next growing season. Rest assured, your perennials will wake up and thrive again when it's time in your growing zone. Dormancy is how they prepare for a healthy, vibrant comeback as the seasons change!

Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners® Continuous Release Fertilizer in spring. Cutting the stems back to within 6-8" of the ground after flowering will result in fuller growth.
