Liatris Spicata Alba (Pack of 10 Bulbs) Liatris Spicata Alba

Liatris Spicata Alba is a very easy to grow plant in your garden. They will produce plumes of white florets year after year. These nectar-rich flowers will attract bees and butterflies. 

The distinctive white flower spikes stand 2 to 4' tall and are magnets for butterflies. Liatris grows best in full sun, though the plants will also tolerate some shade.

PACK OF 10 BULBS

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.
