When to Seed Liatris

Liatris should be direct seeded outdoors in fall, or stratified indoors and sown in trays for transplanting after all danger of frost has passed. 

Where to Plant Liatris

This plant will appreciate a spot with full sun. Loose, well-draining soil is ideal but this plant will tolerate an extremely wide range of growing conditions. This perennial bloom will flower in the second year and come back year after year. It will readily spread and reseed, so keep this in mind when choosing a location! Plants reach three to six feet tall. 

Growing Liatris

Sow seeds ⅛ inch deep and 12 inches apart. Once germinated, thin your seedlings to 12 to 18 inches. Once established, this plant is quite drought tolerant. 

Harvesting Liatris

Liatris can be harvested for cut flowers or left to mature in the garden to benefit the many pollinator species that are attracted to it.
