Blazing Star
Asteraceae, a perennial bulbous herb of the genus Liatris. The plant is low-growing, and several flowering stems 30-50 cm tall usually emerge from the tuberous roots; the stems are upright and leafy. The leaves are linear, and the flower heads are arranged in dense spikes, purple; it is cold-hardy, prefers full sun or tolerates partial shade, and tolerates wet conditions during the growing season. It is used to plant flower borders and can also be used as a cut flower; the flowering period runs from summer to autumn, making it excellent material for flower arranging. Propagated by seed or by dividing the bulbs.
