Liatris Spicata

Product details

Liatris Spicata, also known as “Dense Blazing Star” or “Gayfeather”, is an elegant showstopper from the Liatris species. Native to North America, this exotic perennial blooms in slender flower spikes with bright, deep purple flower clusters, resembling bottle brushes or feathers. The grass-like foliage is mostly concentrated at the base of the plant and trails up the stem. These characteristics make Liatris Spicata attractive to the human eye and are a perfect addition as a cut flower in bouquets. It also attracts beneficial insects, especially bees, moths and butterflies, making it perfect for a pollinator garden.. Growing Specifications Of The Dense Blazing Star. Liatris Blazing Star is a versatile and low-maintenance plant for late-summer flower gardens. It prefers full sun (tolerates partial shade) with well-draining soil, good air circulation and a splash of water per week during the summer heat. While the plant typically grows about 76-89 cm high (30 to 35 inches), taller plants can grow tall spikes that reach up to about 122 cm (4 feet) in optimal conditions.
