"Planted mine in two pots all four look healthy."
"This little Texas Liatris is one tough plant! I planted it in my backyard garden here in West Texas, and it started out its first day at 95 degrees! This liatris is holding its own and also putting on new growth!. 🌱 It brings me a smile every time I look at its hardy little self! I will enjoy watching it grow and come into its own!"
"High Country Gardens is a favorite site that I have been purchasing from for years. Unique plants well suited to my area climate, soil, and conditions. This particular plant came in excellent shipping shape, went into the ground and is settling in with new growth after just a month. Very pleased, once again."
"So this is an absolutely stunning liatris, that I'd recommend anyone plant in its native range. All liatris are late bloomers, but here in southeast Wyoming, they seem to get to full size by the time the rest of the liatris bloom, then proceed to wait for a couple months to bloom. They don't bloom till early October at earliest, usually once all the pollinators are gone, and some only start to bloom for a day before consistent hard freezes come… again, extremely showy, and drought tolerant, but it needs a longer growing season to be worth it in my opinion, best for zone 7+ if you ask me."
"I have to admit when it first arrived I was not happy. The plant was flimsy and looked bad. The first year it bloomed but flopped over and was a disappointment. The second year was a polar opposite. Strong healthy plant with upright flower stalks and was amazing. Never looked bad even when very dry. Definitely worth five stars."
"The second year and this plant is a beauty perfect for my pollinator centered garden."
"It grew a little this year but not a lot. It did flower though. Hope for more from it this year."
Liatris mucronata is a large, showy Blazing Star. This liatris species blooms in late summer with an amazing display of tall, lavender-pink flowers that attract butterflies and other pollinators. Our variety comes from the plains of northern TX and is a more xeric choice than L. ligulistylus and L. aspera and is best for drier planting sites. Texas Blazing Star is a resilient species native to the hot, humid regions of the south-central US like TX, OK and the southern Great Plains. Leave standing over winter to provide seeds for birds. Cut back in mid-spring.
