Liatris ligulistylis
Meadow Blazing Star
Tall flower spikes covered with small fuzzy purple blooms burst forth from shiny green, narrow-leafed rosettes. Long bloom time in late summer; the perfect nectar source for pollinators getting ready to migrate or hibernate. Irresistible to butterflies; you often see dozens of them fluttering around the stalks. Staking may be needed.
