Growing amsonia from the delivered seedling is a great choice even for complete beginners, as this long-lived perennial requires no complex care. Once you receive the seedling, choose a suitable location for it. It will thrive best in the sun, but it also tolerates partial shade very well, where its sky-blue flowers will maintain their rich color for a longer time. Prepare the soil to be humous and loamy. When planting in a flowerbed, maintain a spacing of about 40 centimeters, which corresponds to about four to six plants per square meter. This space will ensure good air circulation around the plants. If you do not have a garden, you can easily grow amsonia in a spacious container on a terrace. In that case, ensure the pot has drainage holes at the bottom and use a high-quality substrate mixed with compost.
Initially after planting, amsonia will appreciate a flowerbed with sufficiently moist soil. It takes some time for it to fully settle in the garden and develop a strong root system. However, once it strengthens over time, it becomes a very resilient plant that can easily handle even shorter periods of drought. Therefore, adjust watering according to the current weather, but for mature plants in open ground, you no longer need to worry about daily watering. Plants grown in containers, however, will require your attention and regular watering throughout the season, because the substrate in a pot dries out much faster. During the spring, you can add a little well-rotted compost to the plants to support blooming; no other special fertilizing is necessary.
This perennial grows to a height of 80 to 100 centimeters, but thanks to its sturdy stems, it does not require additional support. A huge advantage is its absolute trouble-free nature; common pests and diseases avoid it, so you will not have to deal with chemical sprays. Do not prune the plant in the autumn; let its leaves turn into attractive yellow tones. Only perform a complete cut back of the dead stems in early spring. Amsonia is extremely frost-resistant, withstanding temperatures dropping down to -34 °C, so it needs no protection for the winter. If you cut the flowers for a vase, sear the ends of the stems with a flame so they stop leaking sap. Work carefully and preferably with gloves, as the plant is poisonous.
