Basically, the species on crack, Liatris pycnostachya ‘Lavender Glowsticks’ is a prime example of what an over-achieving perennial can be! Magnificent, nearly-eye-level inflorescences with clusters of feathery purple flowers the size of golf balls make quite the statement in midsummer. From July to early September, ‘Lavender Glowsticks’ Prairie Blazing Star produces an unstoppable force of magenta-purple flowers that stand over 4’ in height at maturity, attracting bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and a slew of other pollinators throughout its long bloom time. This showy prairie native tolerates dry, drought-prone soils, and is a wonderful consideration for gardens suffering from summer heat and humidity where it will thrive without reluctance.
