This is my favorite plant this year so far! I've been taking little side shoots and potting them up to make more. It's been blooming for over a month now. Amsonia "Blue Ice" is awesome. The leaves are supposed to turn yellow in the fall. I know Amsonia hubrichtii is the Perennial Plant of 2011; however, these have much nicer blooms and bloom a lot longer. The hubrichtii is grown mainly for the fall foliage. If you don't have this plant, I'd consider getting several! I think some dwarf Coreopsis would look great with these! |

| Blue is my all-time favorite color and those are exquisite. How tall do they get? I have both Zagreb and Moonbeam coreopsis but neither is a dwarf form. What about iberis/candytuft as a companion if they're blooming now? |

| These get about a foot to 16 inches tall. Sounds good to me. I will see how it looks. |
