Liatris (Blazing Stars)
at Digging Dog
Including Liatris spicata varieties Floristan Violett & Kobold
Liatris
Blazing Stars
An American native best planted in drifts, Liatris is a free spirit in the border, in the meadow or in the wild garden. With striking vertical lines, these Blazing Stars add lift to the garden. From a tuft of grassy leaves, stiff, bottlebrush-shaped flowers top leafy stems.
Uniquely, buds burst to bloom from the top down. Coveted by florists for both fresh and dried blossoms, Liatris endures heat, likes well drained soil, and beckons butterflies and bees.
Unrivaled in its popularity among professional florists and gardeners alike, ‘Floristan Violett’s tall, strong stems entertain gorgeous, violet-hued wands, thickly set with small tubular flowers. Grounded by thin grasslike leaves, this vivacious presentation lends an animated accent to a swathe of Luzula ‘Ruby Stiletto’.
Blooms July–early September. Size: 3' high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 4. Liatris spicata ‘Floristan Violett’ (p-1189)
Each $6.50

Blazing Star
‘Kobold’ means “goblin”—and big-headed it is. This compact cultivar has a smaller stature than others of its species, and its erect stems rise solidly from the earth. Grassy foliage plays host to an outstanding bristle of rosy lilac blooms. A vibrant garden guest, contrast ‘Kobold’ against Phlomis fruticosa’s yellow blooms and harmonize
with the pinkish panicles of Calamagrostis brachytricha.
Blooms July–September. Size: 2' high x 12" wide; hardy to zone 4.
Liatris spicata ‘Kobold’ (p-0954)
Each $6.75
