One packet of Rocky Mountain Blazing Star (Liatris ligulistylis) containing 200 seeds. The seeds were hand-collected in the fall of 2024 and packaged for sale in 2025.
Rocky Mountain Blazing Star (Liatris ligulisylis) is a hardy perennial for zones 4-8. The plant produces clusters of small, rounded, fluffy, rose-purple flowers that bloom on tall spikes. The flower heads consist of densely packed, disk-like flowers surrounded by layers of showy bracts, each measuring about 1 inch in diameter. The flowers open from the top and bloom from late summer into fall.
The blooms provide a good source of pollen and nectar and are irresistible to butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. It is a host plant for the Schinia gloriosa and Schinia sanguinea moth larvae.
It prefers dry, sandy, or rocky soil and dry to medium well-drained soils.
The plant features rigid, erect, leafy flower stalks that grow between 1 and 5 feet tall and 12 inches wide. One or more stalks emerge from a basal tuft of grass-like green leaves about 12 inches long. Leaves are mostly alternate, measuring 3-10 inches long and 1.5 inches wide, with no teeth and covered in short white hairs. The leaves become shorter as they ascend the stem.
Companion plants include Asclepias tuberosa, coreopsis, echinacea, and monarda. Both deer and rabbit resistant.
The seeds are tested for germination by the State of Wisconsin and packaged for 2025. Whittlesey Creek Wildflower Farm is a licensed nursery grower and seed labeler in Ashland, Wisconsin, Bayfield County.
