Amsonia is a herbaceous perennial plant whose growth dies down annually, but their roots survive, so you may want to cut back the foliage in winter or prior to new growth.
Amsonia thrives in most gardens with little care. It is low-maintenance, easy to grow and trouble-free. Plant it in full sun or partial shade and moist soil of average fertility. If grown in too much shade or very rich soil, its habit will be open and floppy. This plant grows fairly large but it will not need to be divided for many years. Cutting the stems back to within 6 to 8" of the ground after flowering will result in fuller growth.
Amsonia is a genus of about 20 species native to light woodlands or grasslands of Southeast Europe, Turkey, Japan, and Central and Northeast United States.
