“While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.” ~Dorothea Lange

Blazing Star Liatris

Planted in my grandma's flower bed as a toddler. It's come back every year for over 20 years.

I've not grown liatris before. It's nice and the bees like it

Plant of the Day

Tuesday 27 August 2024

The entrance to Inverness Botanic Garden has recently been landscaped with a great plant association of Liatris spicata (button snakewort, dense blazing star, Kansas gayfeather) and Liatris spicata 'Alba' with a groundcover, beneath these upright perennials, of Ajuga reptans 'Burgundy Glow' (bugle). Both species grow best in moist but well–drained soil with Liatris spicata needing a sunny location.
