'Storm Cloud' Bluestar Amsonia tabernaemontana

I have a blue garden and Ansomia is one of my showstoppers due to its unique blue color. This beauty had grown very healthy over three feet.

I have 4 of these plants & love the them, the little flowers are beautiful & 2 have grown & bush out, the other 2 not so good. I believe it’s because of the area they are in. The trees have made my sun garden now a shade garden!!! When would be a good time of the year to transplant them to a sunny area. I’m in zone 6. Thank you Joan Mach

I have two of these wonderful plants, which are located in part shade and come up every year and bloom beautifully. I cut them way back in the fall and they "erupt" each spring with strong stems, very interesting leaves and clusters of baby blue flowers. Passersby stop and admire them. I wonder if I can divide them? I'd love to distribute them all over the yard. There are so few perennials that really love part shade.

I planted two of these, one late autumn 2017, and one mid-summer 2018. The planted-2017 grew, had foliage, didn't bloom though until spring of 2019. The planted-2018 bloomed in 2019. Both have done really well, but the planted-2018 plant is stronger, healthier, and its blooms were far more numerous, the foliage fuller. The difference may be that the healthier one is planted in a close to full sun place, whereas the other is planted in an almost part shade spot. The plant is extraordinary, regardless.
