Liatris – Kobold Blazing Star
SKU: n/a.A long-time popular perennial, Kobold Blazing Star, Liatris, brings all the splendor of the Missouri and Illinois native Liatris spicata, but in a smaller version. From low tufts of grass-like foliage come tall, rosy-lavender flower wands that open from top to bottom, appearing to glow at the tips. Its uniquely fuzzy flowers make stunning cut flowers. One of the top plants to attract butterflies. Narrow, opposite leaves are up to 10 inches long at the base of the plant and decrease in length up the stems. Deer resistant.
In all, Liatris is a very strong vertical accent and ‘Kobold’ is one of the best selections available for border gardens. It is a staple item for cutting gardens; it adds a bright, vertical element to bouquets. Also known as Gayfeather.
Kobold’s masses of purple flowers are major food sources for butterflies and other pollinators. Easy to grow Kobold Blazing Star stands up to heat and humidity.
Easily grown in most soils in full sun. Add a handful or two of organic matter when planting. Although drought tolerant, for best results keep well watered when setting up buds and in bloom.
