This little gem looks dainty but it hides incredible toughness behind this veneer of small size and delicate beauty. Small, round foliage emerges in early spring, purplish-green and showy forming a small, dense, spreading mound that is attractive without flowers. Combine the foliage color with the small, lavender violet flowers that begin to appear in early May and you have a colorful little package that butterflies love and that tolerates partial to full shade without missing a beat. This plant loves to be planted in groups toward the front of landscape areas or in small spaces, and even provides some fireworks when grown in a mixed container on a deck, and is an essential element to any American Beauties shade garden.
How can such a small plant have such a huge flower output? I guess we’ll never know but don’t ponder that question too long, just sit back and enjoy a season-long show of bloom that stretches from late April right on through September! Dense, rounded plants with deep green foliage are constantly alive with creamy yellow flowers that are edged in purple and loaded with fragrance. It’s the perfect, easy care plant that begs to be planted in groups and admired!
Profuse, multi-colored bloom starting early in the season and continuing well into the summer will make this power packed little gem an absolute necessity for your garden. ‘Starry Night’ forms a tight, dense mound of deep green foliage early in the spring and loads up with buds that begin to open in late April. A flood of small flowers with lavender-purple tinged yellow upper petals combined with yellow to gold centered lavender-purple middle and lower petals provide a beautiful blast of striking pastel shades that you won’t be able to get enough of. It’s a good thing ‘Starry Night’ blooms so long, well into the summer months, so you can enjoy this superb color combination long term. Be sure to plant ‘Starry Night’ in moist, partial shade areas for the best results and longest bloom time.
