Blazing star

Blazing star, also known by the fitting folk name 'top-down flower', is a fascinating perennial that brings an unusual vertical structure to the garden. Originally from the North American prairies, it will appreciate a sunny spot and well-draining, humus-rich soil here as well. It handles winter without any problems, withstanding frosts down to minus thirty-four degrees. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you can simply transplant straight into the flowerbed. It is exceptional in the way it blooms. Unlike most plants, its striking purple flower spikes open from the top down. From July to September, these tall spikes become a magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. In flowerbeds, it works excellently in mixed plantings with ornamental grasses. It does not need support and does not suffer from diseases, just watch out for voles. Blazing star flowers are great for cutting into summer bouquets, adding an original shape and a lilac to purple color. Moreover, the left-over stems will create a beautiful winter effect.
