The
Liatris grows to as much as 16 inches and
features a lavender-pink flower. The flower spike is
tube-like and opens from the top-down. Depending
on where in the United States you are from, the
Liatris is also called a Gayfeather, a Blazing Star,
or a Button Snakeroot. The flower was originally
grown in the eastern section of America but was
formally cultivated in England around 1734.
The
vertical erectness of the Liatris and its long
vase life of about 2 weeks make this flower popular
for vase and floral arrangements at weddings. The Liatris
is odorless and best used in modern floral arrangements. |
