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.
