Web-Only! This US native can be found along streambanks from MO south to TX. The 3' tall stems clothed with glossy green leaves resemble A. tabernaemontana except for the glossy leaves. In early spring, the clumps are topped with terminal clusters of light sky-blue flowers...a very tough and long-lived perennial. These seed grown plants are from a population in St. Louis County, MO.
