Liatris, also known as blazing star or gayfeather, is a long-blooming perennial wildflower native to eastern North America. It is a member of the very large aster (Asteraceae) family of plants, but instead of the familiar daisy-like flowers of most plants in that family, Liatris has highly unusual flower heads featuring tiny star-like blossoms arranged around a long upright bottle-brush spire. The pure species has bright purple flower spikes, but there are also pink and white cultivars available. The grasslike leaves are narrow and inconspicuous, forming in a basal clump, but they turn an attractive bronze color in the fall.

Liatris is usually planted from potted nursery starts or corms in the spring after the last frost date. Either way, they usually flower in their first year. Starting from seeds is also possible, though it can take two years for plants to flower.
