We love all amsonia but Storm Cloud is particularly stunning!

‘Storm Cloud’ eastern bluestar (Amsonia tabernaemontana 'Storm Cloud') is an award-winning cultivar of a native species. This shrubby perennial is a garden workhorse that will be admired from spring through fall. Its main attribute is its medium blue spring flowers, which occur on dramatic dark stems. Its leaves are an olive green that complements both the near-black stems and the rich blue flowers, and its size makes it a great backdrop for smaller summer bloomers.

Beyond the hanger - hanging baskets offer instant impact and stunning drape in large containers. We love them on a hook but often use them to fill out containers - especially large ones!
