Liatris
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, but there are also pink and white cultivars available. The grasslike leaves are narrow and inconspicuous, forming in a basal clump, but they turn an attractive bronze color in the fall.
Varieties: Floristan White, Kobold Original
Exposure: Shade
Format: 1 Gallon Pot
Deer Resistant
