Liatris (Blazing Star)

Blazing Stars are herbaceous perennials native of rich soils in meadows and prairies throughout North America. They make a basal leaf rosette and an upright inflorescence with numerous pink flowers in summer. For any humus rich, slightly sandy or rocky soil in full sun to partial shade.
Sow flat from autumn to spring in any well drained soil. As for most winter hardy perennials, seeds require a cooling period for several months before they germinate in late spring to early summer, thus during winter place pots outside in a protected spot. Transplant rootstock in autumn.
All are USDA Climate Zone 6.
