Was over at a friends new house looking at the gardens and didnt recognize this plant. It was tall, in full sun and had shiny leaves. The bloom was like a small cluster of stars. I didn't think to check if it had a scent. It must be a perennial here hardy for zone 5. Anyone know what it is?
Amsonia tabernaemontana (Blue Star, Dogbane) ? I know yours look white but the calyx is blue and there are spots of blue on the petals.
Wow Toni, I think that's it! I have never seen this plant before. There were a few things in this garden I couldn't identify... Who ever owned this house before spent a lot of time and money in these gardens. Thanks, I'm sure there will be more mystery plants from this garden before we are done
Good for you Toni! You nailed it! Netty, I have an amsonia in my garden & it is doing very well. It only gets maybe 1/4 day sun, but still blooms well & does not need staking. I divided it last year at a less than optimal time, buy it took it well & continued to grow. The division did well too.
