Welcome back to Bountiful Gardens! In this video, we're taking another deep dive into three perennial favorites you NEED in your garden! And better yet, this is one of the best times of the year to get your plants in the ground! This week, we're learning about Caryopteris (Bluebeard), Amsonia (Bluestar) and Asters!

Caryopteris is a gorgeous perennial shrub in the mint family that features silvery foliage and deep blue flowers in late summer and early autumn. As Fall sets in, the leaves will turn to a bright buttery yellow color before dropping for winter. Seedheads make a great foodsource for birds, and the flowers are beloved by countless pollinators.

Amsonia, also known as Bluestar, is a native perennial that boasts light blue flowers in early Spring. Its delicate but strong foliage makes a great alternative to ornamental grasses, and in the fall, this plant bursts into firey hues. Planting in clusters is best for the greatest effect!

Asters are the OG's of the Asteraceae family--the largest family of plants in the world! We have plenty of native asters here in NJ, and you can find a bunch of them right here at Bountiful Gardens! These wildflowers can start blooming anywhere from early summer all the way until November, depending on which species you choose. And the color selections are amazing!!
