FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

When should I plant Liatris bulbs in the UK?

Plant Liatris corms in spring, once the risk of hard frost has passed, for flowers in summer. Choose a sunny position and plant them in light, free-draining soil.

Where is the best place to grow Liatris?

Liatris, also known as blazing star, needs full sun to flower well. It grows best in soil that stays lightly moist during the growing season but drains freely, especially in winter.

Why has my Liatris not grown or flowered?

Slow or poor growth is often caused by shade, heavy wet soil or corms that have not yet established. Liatris needs plenty of sun and may take a season to settle. Avoid winter waterlogging, which can cause the corms to rot.

Why do Liatris flowers open from the top down?

This is a normal feature of Liatris flower spikes. Unlike many flowering plants, the small flowers open first at the top of the spike and gradually work their way downwards.

Does Liatris come back every year?

Yes. Liatris is a hardy perennial that returns each year from its corms. Deadhead faded flowers to keep the plant tidy, cut old stems down in winter and divide established clumps every 3 to 4 years if they become crowded.
