Liatris Spicata Floristan Violet x 20
Liatris Spicata Floristan Violet is an eye-catching perennial that brings vertical structure and a fresh wash of purple through the garden in the summer and autumn months.
Location
Best placed outdoors in a sunny spot or in light, semi-shade. Its tall flower spikes make it a natural choice for beds, borders and even larger containers.
Contents
You will receive 20 dormant rootstocks without soil, ready for planting.
Growth habit and size
This perennial forms upright stems topped with densely packed purple flower spikes, reaching around 80–100 cm when fully grown.
Plant care
Plant into well-drained soil and water thoroughly after planting, repeating in dry spells. A little organic fertiliser helps to enrich the ground, and a spring mulch supports neat, steady growth.
Pruning and maintenance
Remove spent flower spikes regularly to keep the display going. For long-term vigour, lift and divide the clumps about every three years, then replant the strongest pieces.
Winter hardiness
Hardy down to around –20°C, making it well suited to reliably cold winters when established.
