Blue Ice Blue Star is an erect compact clumping perennial with narrow willow-like dark green foliage that turns bright yellow in fall. Pyramidal clusters of small dark lavender blue star-shaped flowers bloom at the tips of the stem in late spring. Best fall colors are in full sun, but flowers last longer with afternoon shade in the South.
