Liatris spicata, the dense Blazing Star or Prairie Gay Feather, is an herbaceous perennial plant native throughout most of eastern North America. It is commonly grown in gardens for its showy inflorescence, which attracts butterflies, bees and a number of beneficial pollinators.  It enjoys fertile, well drained soil and bright sun.

It is a mid to late summer bloome and needs at least 3 hours of bright sun per day, or longer perods of filtered sun..

Information

Prices listed are subject to change, based upon size change and availability.

We are a small local nursery with limited shipping capability. We will do our best to ship smaller material (usually 1 or 2 gallon), although we can sometimes ship larger plants with the pots removed.

We have some species that are not listed, as we have too few of them to make a full listing plausible. You can always inquire.

We will consider contract growing an order with appropriate advance notice and availability of seed, cuttings or lining out stock.
