Liatris spicata (Dense Blazing Star) Seed, PA Ecotype
Description
Liatris spicata is a clump-forming perennial native to North American prairies, meadows, and wetlands. It grows 2–5 feet tall, producing tall, showy spikes of purple to lavender flowers from midsummer to early fall. This species thrives in full sun and tolerates a range of soil conditions, from moist to well-drained.
Blazing star is a favorite among pollinators, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, while its seeds provide food for birds. Its striking vertical form makes it ideal for pollinator gardens, prairie plantings, and restoration projects. It is low-maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, and adds vibrant color to ecological landscapes.
