Liatris "Blazing Star" is a tall, upright perennial that grows to 4' in height. Long-lasting flower displays make it a must for American gardeners. A great companion plant for all vegetables. It does well in virtually any soil, but it prefers a moist, fertile environment. Growing Instructions: Direct seed in the garden during fall or winter. If starting indoors, it is best to chill these seeds in the refrigerator for 1 week before planting. Cover seeds lightly with a damp (not wet!) potting soil mix in trays or pots. Place them in the coolest part of the basement. Once germination begins they can be placed in a coldframe or under lights.
