Liatris Mixed Blazing Star Bulbs

Liatris Mixed Blazing Star pairs two exceptional summer-blooming varieties—Alba and Spicata—into one stunning display of nature's artistry. These hardy perennials grow 24 to 48 inches tall, with dense, button-like flower spikes in white and purple-pink hues. Blooming in July and August, the flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and native bees, while their seeds delight songbirds in late summer. The finely textured, feathery blooms rise above slender, grass-like foliage, adding a vertical element that enhances pollinator gardens and borders alike. Perfect for fresh and dried arrangements, these fragrant blooms are a favorite of florists and gardeners alike.

A variety of Liatris spicata, commonly known as blazing star or gayfeather, this mix thrives in Zones 3-9. Found naturally in meadows and marsh edges, these clump-forming perennials are as easy to grow as they are visually stunning. Whether massed in borders or planted among pollinator-friendly companions, they create a breathtaking summer display.

Mixed Blazing Star requires little maintenance, thriving in full sun with average to moist, well-draining soil. Drought-tolerant once established, these plants stand up to summer heat and humidity with ease. For the best results, plant the bulbs in spring, spacing them 18 inches apart and burying them 1½ to 2 inches deep.

Native to the eastern United States, blazing star supports biodiversity and sustains pollinators and wildlife with its nectar-rich flowers and seed-filled heads. Incorporating this eco-friendly perennial into your garden fosters a thriving, sustainable landscape that dazzles season after season.
