Description: This plant is very showy and is a butterfly magnet - they just love this plant. Meadow Blazing Star is a great choice for a naturalized planting as it has good presence in the landscape and tends to bloom later in the season when other wildflowers are petering out. It also makes a great specimen plant for a sunny garden as it not aggressive or very seedy.

Found in Nature: Open woods and sunny meadows, sandy hillsides.

Distribution: Prairie, Foothills, Parkland

Notes: Available as larger potted stock - pick up only.
