    Could your landscape use some strong vertical lines? Liatris is an excellent perennial for this and it delivers a long season of bloom. This white flowering cultivar is related to the wild liatris that dots wilflower meadows in the Midwest (and cares for itself.) Plant a few trios of these inexpensive bulbs and enjoy watching this sturdy beauty develop into a clump of fuzzy white spires. Stunning planted in front of dark leaf grasses. Why Grow Liatris? Easy care, happy in full sun locations Butterfly and bird magnets; add winged color to your landscape Flowers from July through August Excellent for cutting and adding to summer bouquets; favored by florists Manages high summer heat and humidity well Liatris is a clump forming perennial that blends well in mixed borders, native plant gardens, cottage gardens and cutting gardens. With insect and disease issues rare to nonexistant, this easy care, easy mixer belongs in more home landscapes.

    Wands of flowers /w spikes that are very unusual in that they open first at the top. This white form goes w/ every other plant in your garden & does it well. Excellent cut flower, butterfly attracter, disliked by deer & grows in the poorest soil, takes part shade -- pretty hard to beat! Strongly drought tolerant. More compact than various species.

    An excellent late summer vertical of longlasting white fluffy flowerheads on a dense spike. Interestingly, flowers begin to bloom from the top of the spike and open towards the bottom. The foliage is linear and lance-like. Lovely as a cut flower. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.
