Liatris spicata (purple) and Liatris spicata 'Alba' (white), aka Gay feather, are long blooming perennials for the sunny garden or landscape. Hardy in zones 3-9 (we are considered zone 7), Liatris inspires with strong vertical interest; its bottlebrush spikes open from the top down providing weeks of color and enjoyment.

Liatris is a clump-forming perennial that is best planted in full sun and moist, well-drained soils. Allow for some room in the garden; Liatris can grow to 2-4' tall and 1-1 ½' wide.

This old-fashioned favorite is a butterfly magnet; plant where you can enjoy the flutterby parade! Helpful hint: Plant extra; you'll want to cut some spikes for informal flower arrangements. If you leave the spent flower spikes in the garden, goldfinch will enjoy the seeds. And if you garden in deer country; Liatris is reported to be deer resistant.

Dicentra 'Luxuriant', aka bleeding heart, is a flowering perennial for the sun to part shade garden. Not to be confused with the spring-blooming Dicentra spectabilis, also known as bleeding heart.

'Luxuriant' delights with deep cherry-pink flowers with fringed ends that provide months of color and blue-gray foliage that is attractive even when the plant is not blooming. Hardy in zones 3 - 9 (we are considered zone 7), this clump-forming perennial will grow to 12-16" in height and width.

Grow in sun or part shade; if grown in full sun provide adequate soil moisture. Gardeners in-the-know will deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers.
