Liatris spicata
Marsh Blazing Star

• This native perennial prefers full sun and moist soil.

• It is a narrow, upright plant with grassy leaves and a stalk of fuzzy purple flowers in summer. These flowers are highly attractive to pollinators, and Blazing Star does well in a butterfly or cottage garden.

• Taller plants often require staking unless densely planted with other perennials for support.

• Handles heat and humidity well.
