On a morning stroll through the garden noticed some interesting bee activity this week. On one side of the path, bumble bees were just covering the Penstemon and Lavender. On the other side of the path, the honeybees were buzzing away on the Bupleurum. Guess they don’t like to share!

Amsonia hubrechtii has long been a mainstay in gardens in the mid-Atlantic states, prized especially for its starry blue flowers in spring and the intense yellow of its narrow linear leaves in autumn. This clumping perennial looks good all summer, too, its narrow leaves adding a feathery backdrop to the border. A Great Plant Picks selection. Late spring. 3 ft. x 4 ft. Sky Blue flowers Sun Zones 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
