Gayfeather (Liatris spicata), commonly known as the Blazing Star, Marsh Blazing Star, or Dense Blazing Star, is a tall, erect, lumpy perennial native to low-lying wetlands, grasslands, and marsh edges.
Liatris belongs to the family Asteraceae, and each flower head has only fuzzy disc-shaped flowers (similar to “blazing stars“). The Liatris genus includes about 50 perennial species[1] and is native to the Bahamas and Mexico.
