HI Karen
Was just tidying my correspondence file and found this. As I don't
remember seeing any replies, I though I might attempt one.

I can't find anything about these actual species, but a general account of Amsonia suggest it is a genus only for moist soils which do not dry out in summer, so I guess prbably not worth you trying.
