Liatris

      The Liatris are perennial summer plants originating from the east of North America. Also referred to as Blazing Stars or gay Feathers, the Liatris flowers are strongly pollinated, as their blooming flower acts as a magnet for the bees and the butterflies. Although people use it mainly as a decorative plant, there are situations when people cultivate this plant indoors in pots.
