Liatris Butterflies, insects and birds love Liatris and so do we! Cheerful purple flowers provide contrast to daisies, and are also great for cutting. They bloom from the top down, unlike most spiky- type flowers. We’re offering four different species and cultivars, some quite uncommon in the nursery trade.
