With graceful and upright spires of fluffy flowers, Liatris ‘Summer Explosion’ is a wonderful blend of two varieties, for the perfect mix of contrasting shades. Forming a strong vertical accent, they are a wonderful contrast to frothier summer blooms, adding structure and vibrant white and purple hues.
Admire flowers that add punctuation to a mixed display and have a quirky trait of opening from the top downwards. Plant them positioned at the back of a border or take a closer look with them in a captivating container display. They also make a wonderful addition to cut flower arrangements around the home.
With the flowers growing above narrow grass-like foliage, it has a wonderful blend of textures and movement. They are also an excellent choice for attracting bees and a range of other pollinators.
Elegant but easy to grow, the flowers will thrive when positioned in a sunny or partially shaded spot, in moist but free draining soil. It will then come back year after year.
