Introduce strong vertical drama and reliable color to your garden with the Liatris spicata, commonly known as Blazing Star or Gayfeather. This robust, easy-to-grow perennial shoots straight, dense spikes of vibrant color, creating unmissable pillars of texture that stand tall even in mixed borders.
Unlike many spiky flowers that open from the bottom up, Liatris uniquely opens from the top down, creating a dynamic, long-lasting display that draws the eye upward.
