• When and where should I plant the Liatris Mix bulbs?
  Plant the bulbs in spring after the last frost, in a spot that gets full sun. Liatris thrives in well-drained soil and prefers not to sit in soggy conditions. Ideal for borders, wildflower gardens, or even large containers.
• How tall do Liatris plants get, and how much space do they need?
  Liatris spicata and 'Floristan Weiss' grow about 2 to 4 feet tall. Space bulbs around 12-18 inches apart to give them room to shine and allow good airflow, which helps prevent rot.
• Are Liatris plants good for pollinators?
  Absolutely. Liatris is a favorite of butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Planting them helps support your local ecosystem while adding dynamic vertical color to your garden.
• Can I grow Liatris in containers?
  Yes, Liatris does well in deep containers with good drainage. It’s a smart choice for small patios or balconies, adding bold vertical lines and attracting pollinators even in tight spaces.
• Do I need to deadhead or divide Liatris?
  Deadheading isn't necessary, but you can snip faded spikes to tidy up. Every few years, you might divide the clumps in early spring or fall to keep them vigorous and prevent overcrowding.
