Homeowner Growning & Maintenance TipsNarrowleaf Blue Star is a long-lived plant prefers moist sites, but it performs equally well on dry ones. Will tolerate light shade or full sun. The plant's acrid, milky sap makes it virtually deer-proof. But, because it may also irritate the gardener's skin, gloves are advisable when planting bluestem or cutting its flowers.
