Liatris ‘White Feather’
An amazing new type of Liatris! Fast growing, robust and very showy. Native to the United States, ‘White Feather’ exhibits the best habit of any Liatris that we’ve bred. Flowering in year one, its ability to draw pollinators is remarkable. It’s not unusual to see both butterflies and bees working the flowers at the same time. Luckily, there are plenty of flowers to choose from!
