Perfectly happy in pathetic soil! This blazing star does well just about anyway, as long as the soil is well-drained. Unusual, button-shaped flowers are what set this native wildflower apart from it's close relatives. Up to 40 blooms appear on each spike, and are a magnet for a wide variety of butterflies. Reaching about two feet high, this wildflower is wonderful with other low-growing perennials in a rock garden, or clustered together as a stunning display in your meadow!
