50 Liatris spicata SEEDS PURPLE BLAZING STAR FLOWER Cold Hardy-3 Butterfly Plant

50 PURPLE BLAZING STAR FLOWER SEEDS Liatris spicata Cold Hardy Zone 3 A Plant Loved by Butterfly and Pollinators Liatris, also known as blazing star or gayfeather, is a long-blooming perennial wildflower native to eastern North America. It is a member of the very large aster (Asteraceae) family of plants, but instead of the familiar daisy-like flowers of most plants in that family, Liatris has highly unusual flower heads featuring tiny star-like blossoms arranged around a long upright bottle-brush spire. The pure species has bright purple flower spikes. The grasslike leaves are narrow and inconspicuous, forming in a basal clump, but they turn an attractive bronze color in the fall. Common Name Blazing star, liatris, dense blazing star, gay feather Botanical Name Liatris spicata Family Asteraceae Plant Type Herbaceous perennial Mature Size 2–5 ft. tall, 9–18 inches wide Sun Exposure Full Soil Type Medium-moisture, well-drained Soil pH Acidic to neutral (5.5 to 7.5) Bloom Time Summer to early fall Flower Color Purple, reddish-purple, white Hardiness Zones 3–9 (USDA) Native Area Eastern North America Liatris takes very little care, but you may need to stake up the stems if planted in overly-rich soil, which can cause the plant to grow tall and floppy.
