Amsonia xButterscotch™ brings a fresher, richer, healthier glow to a famous native perennial genus.

Like A. hubrichtii, Butterscotch™ is in constant graceful motion in the slightest breeze. It, too, has starry blue flowers in spring. And like its more famous sibling, its billowy masses of fine, rich green foliage segue to a beautiful golden autumn color.

So how is it different? Let us recount the ways:

■ Leaf Color: Butterscotch’s slim leaves take on a deeper, richer golden hue in fall.

■ Stem Color: That deceptively-delicate foliage is borne on striking red stems.

■ Disease resistance: Butterscotch™ doesn’t suffer from the tip dieback that sometimes disfigures the familiar form.

■ Flowering: Those starry blue flower clusters bloom longer and more uniformly.

■ Vigor: In our side-by-side trials, Butterscotch™ is clearly a stronger grower.

Far be it from us to dis a Perennial Plant of the Year (2011) winner. Growers, gardeners and designers know and love A.hubrichtii. It’s a great plant and a good seller.

But even greatness can be surpassed. Go greater. Pour it on with Butterscotch™, in 72-cell liners exclusively from Emerald Coast Growers – your easy choice!
