Liatris spicata ‘Alba’- Pack of 10 Bulbs 

Liatris spicata ‘Alba’, also known as White Blazing Star or Gayfeather, is a wonderfully easy-to-grow perennial that adds striking vertical interest and soft elegance to any garden. These beautiful plants produce tall, bottlebrush-like plumes of pure white florets, which bloom from top to bottom and return reliably year after year.

Reaching heights of 2 to 4 feet, the bold, upright flower spikes make a stunning addition to borders, prairie-style plantings, or pollinator-friendly gardens. Their nectar-rich blooms are a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators, making them a fantastic choice for encouraging local wildlife.

Liatris ‘Alba’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, but it’s also tolerant of light shade, making it a versatile option for many garden settings. The plant is also drought-tolerant once established, making it low-maintenance and resilient throughout the growing season.

Perfect for cut flower arrangements, these tall, graceful blooms add texture and brightness indoors as well.

Bring structure, beauty, and wildlife to your garden with this pack of 10 easy-to-grow Liatris spicata ‘Alba’ bulbs—a simple yet impactful way to elevate your summer garden.

Planting Liatris in the Garden

• Plant Liatris Spicata in the spring for summer flowering.
• Make sure the risk of frost has passed before planting outdoors.
• Position your Liatris Spicata bulbs in a full to partially sunny aspect.
• Plant at a depth of 15cm (6").
• Space your bulbs 5-10cm (2-4") apart.
• The small, flattened area is the top of the corm. The claw-like part should point downwards.
• Make sure your soil is well-drained as Liatris like moisture but not soggy roots.

Planting Liatris in Pots/Containers

• Liatris are not commonly grown in containers, but it is certainly possible to do so.
• If planting in pots, plant your Liatris at a depth of 15cm (6")
• Plant 3-5 corms to a 10-12" pot/container.
• Ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes.

Caring for your Liatris Spicata

• In Autumn, remove dead foliage and faded flowers. 
• Lift and divide where necessary in Spring.
• You may need to mark your planting area of Liatris Spicata as once the flowers have died back and the foliage removed, there is no trace of them. This will avoid damaging them when you prepare your Spring beds.
