Liatris

Liatris spicata   or blazing star is a native plant around here. With stalks of purple flowers, it blooms from the top down. Butterflies love the flowers and small birds enjoy the seeds if left through winter. I found some seedlings from my plants while I was weeding and potted them up so they can grow a while before I plant them again in a prepared bed.
