Dotted blazing star has stunning spikes of purple flowers in mid summer. It's a drought-tolerant perennial that attracts butterflies.
Liatris punctata is shorter and more compact than most of the other species, so it's perfect for smaller gardens. It self sows, but it's not invasive. Shown here with Coreopsis 'Sunray' and Shasta Daisy 'Crazy Daisy'. Hardy in zones 3-9.
