Liatris aspera, Rough Blazing Star, Quart pot
Liatris aspera, Rough Blazing Star
FS-PS, Zone 3, Blooms Jul - Aug, 3’ x 1.5’, medium to dry once established
You can just picture a stand of Blazing Stars in full bloom in a prairie setting. The vivid color of the blooms is bright and a monarch draw. It is one of the few flowers that opens top to bottom!
Our experience with this essential butterfly and pollinator plant is that it stays fairly short during year one and may not bloom that year. Also, we have found it does not like weed competition, so make sure to keep them in the clear.
Many insects visit the flowers of Liatris aspera including honeybees, bumblebees, Little Carpenter bees, Miner bees, and Leaf-Cutting bees. The monarchs and skippers are the most frequesnt butterfly visitor.
