Liatris Spike

Liatris spicata, or Spike Gayfeather (Dense Blazing Star), features vibrant purple flower spikes that rise above narrow, grass-like foliage, creating a bold vertical accent in summer gardens. Its long bloom time and unique flowering habit make it a standout in any landscape.

Prefers full sun, is drought tolerant, and a low maintenance, pollinator-friendly perennial that attracts butterflies and beneficial insects. Ideal for naturalized areas and sunny borders.

Maintenance Tip:
Provide consistent watering during establishment, then only during extended dry periods. Deadhead to tidy or leave seed heads for wildlife. Cut back in late fall or early spring and divide periodically to maintain vigor.
