Description: Liatris aspera is an excellent late season showy flower for any perennial garden. Its blooms

are bright purple and attractive. The plant does best when planted among other taller plants to help

support the blooms when in flower. Like many native prairie species, if planted in a site with high

nutrients and organic matter it will get taller and lodge. It’s a great flower to add to a dry sunny site

where other plants are failing to thrive.
