Description

Bio Liatris Spicata brings a distinctive spiked flower form that adds height and rhythm to summer borders. The upright spikes are packed with small flowers that open progressively, giving a long display and a strong architectural shape. It is a useful plant for customers aiming for prairie style planting, wildlife friendly borders or cutting gardens where vertical stems help arrangements look structured and professional.

Liatris is well known for attracting pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies, and it helps extend forage through mid to late summer. In planting design it pairs well with echinacea, rudbeckia, achillea, salvias, veronica and ornamental grasses. It also works well planted in drifts through gravel and meadow style schemes, where the spikes rise cleanly above softer textures. The organic production story is a clear benefit for retailers building more sustainable bulb and perennial ranges.

Plant corms in spring in full sun. Ensure soil drains freely, as winter wet can reduce reliability in Ireland. Water to establish, then keep moisture moderate. After flowering, allow foliage to fade naturally and leave some stems for late season structure if desired.
