Scrub Blazing Star (Liatris tenuifolia) - 1 Gallon Ornament Variegated fritilaryScrub Blazing Star (Liatris tenuifolia) is a short lived perennial with showy, purple flowers. The flower spikes grow to about 4' tall and thrives in full sun and medium to dry sandy soil to thrive. A great choice for a wildflower garden as it is a great nectar source for butterflies and bees. It thrives in the dry, well drained sands of scrub and pine flatwoods. The mid to late fall blooms are a valuable food source for many pollinators. Zones 8B
