Duncan Pike, one of the garden guides, had the “tough duty” of spending time at the museum store plant shop. What an amazing array of beautiful plants! There’s got to be something you absolutely need for your home garden.
Duncan loves Amsonia, blue star. He grows it at home and says he “can’t kill it.” It has a lovely blue flower, blooms for more than a month and spreads nicely.
Here’s information on the plant from the Missouri Botanic Garden’s web site: http://www.mobot.org/gardeninghelp/plantfinder/Plant.asp?code=W810
