Bidding on 15 seeds...
There’s probably nothing more versatile and easy to grow in the garden than liatris blazing star plants (Liatris sp). These 1–5 feet tall plants emerge from mounds of narrow, grass-like leaves. Liatris flowers form along the tall spikes, and these fuzzy, thistle-like blossoms, which are usually purple, flower from the top to the bottom rather than in the traditional bottom to top blooming of most plants. 
While they are commonly grown in full sun, many types can also take a little shade. In addition, these plants effectively handle drought and are fairly tolerant of cold as well. In fact, most are hardy in Zones 5-9, with some varieties of liatris hardy in Zones 3 and 4 with mulch. Liatris blazing star is also accepting of many soil types, including rocky terrain.
