Product Details

Product Details

Liatris spicata is yet another North American native that had to go to finishing school in Europe before finding acceptance in American gardens. This 'Floristan White' variety has tall spikes of densely packed, pure white flowers in July and August and provides a cool contrast to hot-headed summer blooms. It was selected in Germany for cutting, so remember to bring a few of these bright bottlebrush plants indoors.

Liatris is a small North American genus consisting of about 20 species. They are excellent for cutting, superb for drying, and beautiful in the border, especially planted in groups. Butterflies will flock to the blooms. Plants thrive in full sun and moist, well-drained soil.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

Gorgeous

I do not agree with the other review of this Liatris. I have one (1) plant and it blooms with multiple spikes. Mine is 4 years old now and is absolutely gorgeous. It has increased in size and number of spikes with each year. I came here to purchase some more of them because it looks so nice and the foliage is attractive even when the plant isn't blooming.

Nice!

Easy to grow! Flowers are just as pictured. They do not re-bloom, in the season. For me, the picture is incorrect, in this sense... Each flower that you see is a different plant. Just a heads up.

Plant in well-drained, even dry, soil. Liatris spicata 'Kobold' also tolerates damp soil in summer (it will rot in soil that remains wet through the winter). It is often difficult to tell top from bottom on Liatris corms; when in doubt, plant them on their sides. Remove spent flower spikes to prevent the appearance of unwanted seedlings.
