Rocky Mountain Blazing Star (Liatris ligulistylis) is a striking native perennial that produces tall spikes of vibrant purple flowers in late summer. Beloved by butterflies—especially monarchs—and other pollinators, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. With its bold color, upright form, and drought tolerance, it’s a standout addition to native, meadow, or pollinator-friendly gardens.
