Liatris spicata

$4.00

Dense blazingstar brings bold vertical color, pollinator appeal, and easy-care reliability to gardens big and small. Whether massed in drifts or used as a vertical accent, it delivers a firework-like display that grabs attention and creates movement and rhythm in the garden. This plant is a magnet for monarchs, native bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies—especially in mid to late summer when nectar sources start to wane. A favorite of both long-tongued bees and migrating butterflies and its seed heads also feed birds, especially goldfinches, well into the winter months.
