"I really love this plant and so do my Monarchs. I ordered 4 and one is not growing at all. 3 are doing great. What should I do Do you replace it? I ordered them last year also and haven't seen them back up!"
"Have ordered many plants from High Country Gardens and have been very happy with most. Customer Service has been great when plants have arrived in poor shape. Was provided with replacements for my two failed Blazing Stars and neither the originals or replacements ever evolved out of the dormant shape they were shipped in."
"When it started it's growth for its first year with me it was a knockout."
"Hoped for lots of butterfly interest. It is a lovely flower but was not a big favorite of bees or butterflies. I do wish all 6 plants had survived the winter."
"We planted these last spring and kind of forgot about them. I assumed they were dead from neglect (they looked dead last summer, and I wasn't about to ask for a replacement from hcg on plants I neglected!). Low and behold they emerged and have done very well this year! Didn't flower the first year obviously, but they are showing awesome growth so far. Very excited to see them bloom!"
"I bought quite a few. Some thrived and some struggled. I am waiting for spring to see how many of them survive the winter. I am somewhat worried that the corms may rot. The plant is a beautiful butterfly magnet and if they survive the spring and start showing signs of spreading I will start this plant in more areas of my garden. Grade: to be determined."
"This is a beautiful species of liatris that I ordered to help attract Monarchs to my Boston area garden, and sure enough, we had several Monarchs residing in our garden most of the summer. It bloomed a bit earlier than expected, and a couple of the plants got taller than expected (7 ft!)--so they made quite a statement. This plant and milkweed make the butterflies happy."
"Planting in mind of birds and pollinators. This is an exceptional plant for attracting Monarch butterflies. Have planted milkweed about two feet away. Actually found a chrysalis on the siding of the house. Never saw the butterfly emerge, but the open, clear chrysalis told my husband and I that we helped just a little to keep these beauties alive and hopefully populating the earth."
Meadow Blazing Star (Liatris ligulistylus) is a long grass prairie native, and a larger and showier species than Liatris punctata (native to more arid western grasslands). A robust grower at its best in fertile loam with infrequent but deep soakings once established. Meadow Blazing Star is an excellent butterfly beacon that brightens the late summer/early fall garden with its lavender-purple flower spikes. (Seed propagated.)
