Liatris Purple (Liatris spicata) Featuring fluffy vibrant purple flowers on sturdy upright flower spikes, is sure to grab your attention during Summer when it is flowering.
A fabulous cut flower, Liatris is also known as Blazing Stars or Gayfeather and is often seen in flower arrangements where it can be used both fresh or dried. Fantastic for cottage gardens, these plants produce flowers that attract pollinators and beneficial insects.
In the garden Liatris is an easy care perennial, making a wonderful vertical accent wherever it is planted. Very easy to grow, Liatris will quickly form dense clumps with low thick grassy looking foliage before flower spikes appear in mid to late Summer. They are excellent as border plants, planted in large containers or even as cut flowers. In Winter the tuberous roots remain while the top dies down. Once established Liatris will come through the coldest of Winters and the hottest of Summers.
