'Floristan Violet' is a purple-flowering cultivar of dense blazing star, shorter and bit more compact than the species. More suitable for common garden conditions. Easy and showy.
3' tall x 0.75' wide, strictly vertical structure.
Full sun, half sun, adaptable to soil types, average soils with average medium moisture, or medium-moist to medium-dry. Tolerates clay.
Heat, humidity and drought tolerant. Flowers in July/August.
Hardy in zones 3/4 to 8.
Attract bumblebees, long-horned bees, leaf-cutting bees, butterflies, and skippers. The flowers appear from mid to late summer, and the fluffy seeds that follow stay on the stems till early winter.
Unfortunately, this plant (especially the young shoots), is a tasty snack for deer and rabbits, and the corms can be eaten by voles. \It may be difficult to establish in areas where these animals are overpopulated.
Brings wonderful verticals to plantings and can be combined with many common perennials like daylilies (Hemerocallis), Echinacea, Heliopsis, Rudbeckia, Monarda, or grasses, or annuals like zinnias.
Other common names include blazing star, dense blazing star or marsh blazing star or gayfeather.
The wild species of L. spicata is a wildflower that's native to eastern North America, see the USDA distribution map.
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 4" deep perennial pot

Great
It came in great. I live on the east coast, and it took about 3 days shipping. If you live closer, you will probably get it faster. Took about a week in hot humid weather to grow new leaves. But once it started growing, it is really growing.
