Growing Tips for Amsonia ''Blue Ice''
Grow in average, medium-moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers moist, loamy soil. Full sun encourages the best fall foliage color, while afternoon shade in hot climates can help flowers last longer. This compact cultivar generally requires no staking or support and does not need to be cut back after flowering. Avoid excessive shade, which can cause stems to become weak and flop.
