Threadleaf bluestar is characterized by its feathery green foliage, arranged in erect clumps that can grow to impressive sizes. Its fine-textured leaves form a dense and airy mound, typically reaching a height of up to 3 feet (90 cm) and spreading an equal distance wide. The foliage's texture adds a unique softness to garden settings, inviting interest throughout the growing season before transitioning to a golden hue in the fall. Threadleaf bluestar evolves slowly, displaying its full ornamental appeal after 1 to 2 years of growth.
