Blue Stars

Overview

Aristea ecklonii, commonly known as Blue Stars, grace gardens with dazzling deep blue flowers and strap-like leaves. This hardy perennial thrives in USDA zones 8-10, prefers full sun to partial shade, and grows to an ideal height of 18-24 inches with a similar spread. It's low maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, and blooms in late spring to early summer, offering a striking contrast when mass-planted or as an accent in mixed borders.
