Liatris spicata Kobold Details

Liatris spicata Kobold, commonly known as Blazing Star or Gayfeather, is a stunning herbaceous perennial grown for its foliage and flowers. Showy, rose-purple flowers are borne through summer in clusters atop sturdy stems. The flowers not only transform the plant into a spectre of beauty, but also attract butterflies. The tall stems also host long, narrow, green leaves which serve as a lovely backdrop to the flowers. It grows as a clump to about 75 cm tall and 50 cm wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of frost, cool climates, dry periods, moderate wind, and coastal environments. During winter it may die back but will regrow again when conditions warm. Liatris Kobold is commonly included in borders and mixed plantings, added to cottage gardens, mass planted on a bank, or used anywhere the beautiful flowers can be appreciated. The vertical nature of this plant is great for providing both texture, colour, and height to a planting.
