blazing star

Water Blazing Star (Liatris spicata 'Floristan White') regularly once per week in the summer, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. In the winter months few to no waterings are necessary. Too much water will cause the plant to rot, so aim to keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy wet. During particularly hot, dry times, you may need to water 2 to 3 times per week instead of just once.

The blazing star (Liatris spicata 'Floristan White') is an erect perennial that prefers full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours each day. This full sunlight will provide the best flowering, vigorous growth, and overall healthy appearance for the plant. In regions with hot summers, partial shade in the afternoon may be beneficial. The blazing star will tolerate some shade but may not flower as profusely or as attractively. It is best to provide morning sunlight with some afternoon shade in very hot regions.

Blazing Star (Liatris spicata 'Floristan White') should be pruned once a year, right after it has finished blooming. Cut back each stem to the topmost set of leaves that seem to be growing the strongest. Make sure to not remove more than 1-third of the plant. Pruning the dead flower stalks will help to encourage new growth and promote a fuller, bushier shape.
