Liatris spicata

Mine did not do well this year at all :(

At the nursery they almost did it. I have such a cool garden they will come up but once they shoot up to bloom, its getting into autumn. Sorry to hear your didn't do well. Any ideas why?

Did you have any lucky with the white Liatris GT?

I didn't Janette. I was very sad about it. Maybe the shipping was hard for it. Many suppliers wont even offer to send anything to Alaska. I will have one one day. :-)

There is a fine clump of them in bloom at Kew. I'll try to remember to post a picture on my next blog.We had a hard (for the UK ) winter followed by a dry,warm spring.I hope it flowers better for you next year.

I think it was too hot & dry this year for them....

I have just noticed I have already have a picture of Liatris on my blog posted 5th August.

Oh thats a pity GT ,at least we gave it a try .....maybe we can try the bulb,s might be better at travelling :}
