  • Liatris spicata Alba, or White Gayfeather, is a perennial that truly stands out in the summer garden, celebrated for its impressive, airy white flower spikes. The flowers unfurl from the top, resulting in a gentle, bottlebrush appearance that brings both texture and a touch of grace to borders and more naturalistic plantings. Blooming from mid to late summer, it offers a vibrant contrast to the more colourful perennials and grasses.

  • This plant, though compact, grows upright, reaching heights of approximately 50-70cm. It forms tidy clumps of slender green leaves beneath the blossoms. Its shape lends itself perfectly to mixed borders, prairie gardens, and even containers. The flowers, which last a long time, are great for cutting and are a magnet for bees and butterflies.

  • Liatris spicata Alba is tough, requires little care, and comes back year after year once it's settled in. It's simple to cultivate and adapts to various soil types, making it a reliable option for gardeners seeking structure, movement, and pollinator-friendly plants without a lot of fuss.

    • Light Required Full sun for best flowering

    Watering Water regularly during establishment; once established, water only in prolonged dry periods
