Butterscotch Blue Star is an upright mounding perennial with feathery, bright green thread-like leaves that create a soft, billowy texture in the garden. In late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of light blue, star-shaped flowers. Then, in the fall, the stems turn red as the foliage turns a stunning mix of yellow, gold, and butterscotch. Grows best in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established.
