Short Leaf Blazing Star (​Liatris tenuifolia)

Full Sun

Low Water Needs

Size: 2.5-4 tall x 1 ft wide

Bloom Time: Late Fall
​
This particular liatris is one of the few native species that likes dry soils. Naturally found in scrub environments, this plant grows well in a sunny and sandy home landscape. In midsummer, you will see a shoot start to form, followed by lovely purple blooms in the fall. This species blooms later that other native liatris. If you have a sunny and well drained area in your garden, give this lovely native a try.
