Tall spikes of rich purple flowers open from the top down, holding color for weeks and pulling the eye upward through the planting. This species is especially known for the sheer number of monarchs and other butterflies it attracts during peak migration. When it’s in bloom, the stems are often dotted with wings from morning through evening. The flowers are dense with nectar, and the timing couldn’t be better: late August into September, when resources start thinning out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"775\" data-end=\"1062\"\u003eCompared to some other blazing stars, \u003cem data-start=\"813\" data-end=\"835\"\u003eLiatris ligulistylis\u003c\/em\u003e is taller and more commanding, with broader flower heads and a presence that holds its own among big grasses and late-season perennials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1069\" data-end=\"1262\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1069\" data-end=\"1091\"\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1091\" data-end=\"1094\"\u003eLight: Full sun\u003cbr data-start=\"1109\" data-end=\"1112\"\u003eSoil: Medium, well-drained\u003cbr data-start=\"1157\" data-end=\"1160\"\u003eHeight: 4–6 feet\u003cbr data-start=\"1176\" data-end=\"1179\"\u003eSpread: 1–2 feet, clump-forming\u003cbr data-start=\"1210\" data-end=\"1213\"\u003eZones: 3–8\u003cbr data-start=\"1223\" data-end=\"1226\"\u003eBloom time: August through September\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1264\" data-end=\"1515\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1264\" data-end=\"1282\"\u003eWildlife Value\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1282\" data-end=\"1285\"\u003eMeadow Blazing Star is a major late-season nectar source, especially for monarch butterflies during fall migration, as well as native bees and other pollinators.
