Blazing Star Plant
Blazing Star
Liatris Spicata is a North American native wildflower species with tiny cheerful flowers arranged in bright, impressive clusters. This flower will thrive in USDA plant hardiness zones 3 through 9.
Blazing star plants love nothing more than soaking up the sunshine all day. They flourish in heat and humidity. On the other hand, it also tolerates drought reasonably well, needing manual watering from you during a long dry spell. This plant also does not mind a wide range of soil types--mix in some fertilizer compost twice a to feed it.
Blazing Star Is a Beauty of a Flower
The blazing star is easy to identify thanks to its tall, slender stalks that grow upright toward the sunlight. The stalks may grow as much as six feet tall in perfect conditions. These tall flowers are an adaptation that occurred in their native meadows--the flowers evolved to be taller than the native grasses surrounding them.
Clusters of flowers emerge on unbranched spikes and blossom in striking hues of purple or lavender. The blooms open from the top of the cluster to the bottom and create a fluffy effect.
Blazing star leaves are glossy, green, and grass-like. They grow in substantial clumps with spikes from each plant's middle.
Blazing Star Captures the Interest of Pollinator Insects
The beautiful colors, soft floral scent, and exciting textures will be irresistible to local wildlife.
Your blazing star will be buzzing with activity. Bees, birds, and butterflies will visit during the day, while night-time pollinators like moths will show up to do their work to help balance the ecosystem overnight.
