Description

Blazing Star, also known as Giant Liatris or Liatris spicata, is a perennial wildflower that is native to North America.

Blazing Star is a hardy plant that can grow in a variety of soil types as long as they are well-drained. It prefers full sun to light shade and is drought-tolerant once established. It's also attracts butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Planting Blazing Star bulbs is relatively easy. The bulbs should be planted in the spring, after the last frost has passed, at a depth of about 3 inches and about 6 inches apart. It's recommendable to make sure that the soil is well-drained, and mix some compost or organic matter in the soil before planting. Once established, Giant Liatris require very little maintenance. They can be left undisturbed for years, and they are also deer resistant. They don't require regular watering, and they can also tolerate drought conditions. In colder climates, Liatris Spicata are best treated as perennials and should be dug up in fall and replanted in spring. In areas where the ground doesn't freeze, they can be left in the ground year-round. Blazing Star makes a great cut flower and can be used in fresh or dried flower arrangements. They are also great for naturalizing in meadows, prairies, and wildflower gardens.
