Blazing Star 'Floristan Violet'
Liatris spicata 'Floristan Violet'
The vertical blooms arrive in midsummer, giving daisy-like plants colour and structure to play against. I also keep the faded flower heads for their autumn structure.
The blooms emerge and fade gradually along the stem. Learn to appreciate every stage and it will hold a place from midsummer to fall.
Going strong at five years.
