Liatris/Gayfeather – Blazing Star

Description

Blazing Star (Liatris spicata) is a striking, upright perennial known for its tall, spiky purple flower stalks that bloom from top to bottom in mid-to-late summer. Its grass-like green foliage forms a tidy clump at the base, adding texture and interest even when not in bloom. A magnet for butterflies and pollinators, Blazing Star thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a perfect choice for borders, prairie gardens, and wildflower meadows. Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, this hardy perennial brings vertical drama and long-lasting color to any garden.
