Liatris Pycnostachya
$4.00 / packet
In stock
Description
Also known as "Prairie blazing star" or "Kansas Gayfeather", this is perhaps the tallest Liatris species in cultivation, typically growing 2-4' tall (infrequently to 5'). Rounded, fluffy, deep rose-purple flower heads are crowded into terminal spikes (to 20" long) atop thickly-leafed, rigid flower stalks. Flowers generally open top to bottom on the spikes. Pycnostachya means "crowded" in Greek, in probable reference to the arrangement of both flower heads and leaves, this species being distinguished from other Liatris species by its reflexed, long-tipped involucral bracts.

SOW FINELY & EVENLY IN A COLD FRAME, COLD GREENHOUSE OR COOL PROPAGATOR AT ANYTIME. COVER THINLY WITH COMPOST OR GRIT. GROW ON INDIVIDUAL SEEDLINGS IN 3" POTS. PLANT OUT IN WELL-DRAINED OPEN POSITION.
