Liatris squarrulosa
Spreading Liatris Zones: 5, 6, 7, 8
The Spreading Liatris grows naturally in rocky or sandy, rather dry, barren, open woods, a habitat quite different from other Liatris. It has a basal clump of gray-green leaves, sparsely produced, from which rise 2- to 31/2- foot flower spikes. The individual flower heads are quite large, an inch or more in width, and are spaced 1 to 2 inches apart on the stalk from August into October. In bud the flowers are a beautiful bright rose opening into lavender-purple. This Liatris is useful for its late blooming time and for its ability to grow in poor soil in light shade or full sun.
