Button Blazing Star 

  • Average to dry soils
  • Prefers full sun 
  • 36” tall, 12” wide

Grown from seeds from Prairie Moon Nursery https://www.prairiemoon.com/liatris-aspera-button-blazing-star-prairie-moon-nursery.html 

A long-blooming, mid-sized Liatris with very showy blooms. Well suited to open, sunny garden and meadow settings, including very dry gardens. Would pair well with Orange Butterfly Weed, Old-Field Goldenrod and heath Asters.
