I was advised by a Wildlife preserve director not to plant eastern blue star in an ecological restoration project in central jersey (Princeton area near PA border) bc it was not native to the local ecology. In fact, when I researched it, I found that "*In the Mid-Atlantic Region, it is native to the southern Piedmont and inner Coastal Plan in VA and to limited areas of MD, DE, NJ, and PA."
NJ Botanical Gardens is much more north than I am. She mentioned Maryland as being the provenance of the plants there. Do you know why they are from MD and not from more local provenance, for example, our own NJ wild flora?
