Bring the prairie into your garden with the liatris. The purple flowering plant likes sun and moist soil.
Bring a piece of prairie home. With the Prachtscharte or also called Liatris, you can do it very easily. This pretty flower originated in the prairies of Central America.
There it thrives and enchants the steppe into a sea of blossoms. She can soon do the same in your garden. By the way: It's not as rare as it sounds. It is at home in almost every garden.
Flowering period July to September
The flowering period is from July to September. The special thing about the Liatris: It flowers from top to bottom. Its flowers, up to 50 centimeters long, start at the top and continue downwards. This is also the reason why the liatris flowers longer than other flowers.
Sun and wet soil
The Prachtscharte likes sun and slightly moist soil, but has no problem with a longer dry period. If it produces fewer flowers over the years, it should be divided in spring. This is how you multiply the Liatris and you always have a wonderful sea of flowers in pink or white.
