Gayfeather (Liatris spicata) brings tall purple flower spikes above a low clump of narrow, grasslike leaves. The upright stems add a strong vertical shape to summer borders and flower gardens, and the blooms attract butterflies and bees.
Also known as Dense Blazing Star, this perennial is distinct from Meadow Blazingstar (Liatris ligulistylis). Plants grown from seed generally begin flowering in their second year.

How to stratify seed
In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.
Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
