Dotted Gayfeather

Liatris punctataShort’s Resort Field Station
Pending NPSOT review

Purple fall spikes and a monarch magnet. Slow and fussy from seed — needs cold-moist stratification and a year or two of patience — but worth it for the late-season nectar it brings the uplands.

StatusA working first pass, being reconciled against NPSOT and USDA PLANTS. Corrections welcome at [email protected].
