'Floristan White' is a white-flowering cultivar of dense blazing star. This favorite, easy to grow, and very showy perennial has narrow leaves that gradually decrease in size and length towards to top of the stems, which continue in 10" long spikes of purple-red flowers that highly 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. It is clay tolerant and a good cut flower.
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 verticality 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.
