Liatris (Blazing Star) is a native perennial known for its tall spikes of vibrant purple flowers that bloom from mid- to late summer. A favorite of butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and especially monarchs, it provides valuable nectar when many other plants are fading.
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Liatris is drought tolerant, deer resistant, and easy to maintain once established. Its upright form adds color, texture, and vertical interest to pollinator gardens, perennial borders, and naturalized landscapes.
Best Features: Native perennial, showy purple flower spikes, attracts pollinators, drought tolerant, deer resistant, excellent cut flower, and blooms through summer.
