Eastern bluestar Amsonia tabernaemontana

Temperatures Eastern bluestar
Perennial plants mainly have a spring and summer development. During the coldest months of the year the aerial part can completely dry out, to come up the year after. Locate this plant in a partially shaded place, where it is exposed to solar rays during the coolest hours of the day.Let's grow the the Eastern bluestar outdoors; they can bear very harsh minimum temperatures, even when many degrees below zero.

Feed Eastern bluestar
In the spring let’s fertilize perennials periodically, using a specific fertilizer for flowering plants, to add to the irrigating water, every 20-25 days; or we can spread a slow release fertilizer near the plants every 3-4 months.

Care Eastern bluestar
The Eastern bluestar has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. These plants are perennial herbs. This plant in the summer assumes a blue colouring; it is small in size and can reach 50 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter.

Irrigation Eastern bluestar
We suggest watering the the Eastern bluestar every 1-2 weeks with 2-3 glasses of water , which means when the soil has been dry for days; if the season should be very hot and arid we can intensify the quantity of irrigations, although we must avoid leaving the substratum soaked with water. These plants display a pretty long period of vegetational rest. During this time it isn't necessary to water the plants.

Adversity Eastern bluestar
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Substrate Eastern bluestar
Locate these plants in a soft and deep, very well drained soil.
