Dwarf Blazing Star (Liatris cylindracea) Seeds - Prairie Moon Nursery (L2L)

Liatris cylindracea is an herbaceous perennial that belongs to the aster family. The shortest of the Liatris species, Liatris cylindracea grows to be about 1’ tall. Because of its size, it does not compete with tall, aggressive plants well. Dwarf Blazing Star prefers dry soils and full sun. This Liatris is highly drought tolerant. Its habitats include black soil prairies, hill prairies, oak savannas, rocky cliffs, and other areas of little disturbance.

The long, skinny leaves appear whorled because of their high density, but are actually in an alternate arrangement. The bright purple flowers are visited by long-tongued bees, butterflies, skippers, and many other insects.
