Amsonia elliptica,
a perennial herb, inhabits fringes of marshes
and damp grasslands close to a river or lake. It stands 40 to 80cm
and bears cymose inflorescence on the tip of a stem with
difficult-to-describe pale blue-purple, lanceolate flowers. Leaves,
6-10cm long and 1-2cm wide, are generally arranged in alternate
phyllotaxis, with sharply pointed tips. Corollas are 1.3cm in
diameter, in the shape of a high cup, and the upper parts are cleft
into five segments opening flat. Bloom time: May-June. |
