'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.

Please note: Our Ships Now perennials are still waking up from dormancy. In the spring, as temperatures rise and daylight hours increase, perennials begin to emerge from dormancy, pushing new shoots from their roots. Most dormant plants start showing new growth in late March or early April, depending on the specific plant and local weather conditions.

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.
