Liatris Seed Harvest - Wisconsin Garden Video Blog 797

See More Garden Goodies: http://www.WisconsinGarden.com - - - It’s September 26, 2017 and it’s time for our fall Liatris seed harvest. If you would like some Liatris seeds, simply send us an enclosed Stamped Self-Addressed Envelope before by October 15, 2017. All seed requests will be filled in order of dated requests while supplies last. Before you place your request, please check with your state, county or country for any seed restrictions. This purple beautiful Liatris spicata specie is also known as dense blazing star or prairie gay feather and is one of our favorite herbaceous perennial plants. We enjoy seeing these sturdy tall spikes of purple flowers that grace several areas throughout our gardens. It’s interesting to watch each one start by blooming from top downward in a series of small flowers that keep emerging until the entire stalk is in full bloom. Each Liatris stalk contains hundreds of husks with little feather-like hairs attached to each seed as a way for this herbaceous plant to propagate its future survival.
