The Gardener’s Answer
Hello, Gary: Amsonia is a popular perennial this year. It is just breaking dormancy so it should be available soon. I am not familiar with the garden centers/nurseries in your county, but I suspect you should be able to find it locally. Call around to see if this is a plant that any of your local suppliers carry. They may be willing to special order it for you if this is a perennial they usually do not have. Your Cooperative Extension Service will have local suggestions for you if you need it. You can contact the Trimble County horticulture/agriculture agent(s) at (502) 255-7188 or stop by the offices at 43 High Country Lane in Bedford. If you are not able to find it locally, The Plant Kingdom in Louisville typically has it available in both quart-size and gallon-size containers. It is one of our favorite perennials so we keep it in stock; we do run out on occasion but we would be happy to hold one or more for you if you wanted to make the trip. You can reach us at (502) 893-7333. We are located at 4101 Westport Road in Louisville. Amsonia is a great addition to any sun-loving garden. It is light and feathery through the summer months with powdery-blue flowers, but the real show comes in the fall when the brilliant color emerges. The more sun the plant receives the better the fall color.
