Dense Blazing Star 'Blazing White', Liatris Seeds

Dense Blazing Star ‘Blazing White’ (Liatris spicata ‘Blazing White’), also called White Gayfeather, is a cultivated selection of the native Dense Blazing Star, originally found in North American meadows and moist prairies. This variety is prized for its striking, pure white flower spikes that bloom from the top down, creating the same dramatic vertical accent as the traditional purple form while offering a bright, elegant contrast in the garden. It features narrow, grass-like foliage forming a tidy basal clump and attracts butterflies, bees, and other pollinators throughout late summer. To grow ‘Blazing White’ successfully, plant seeds or divisions in full sun with moist, well-drained soil; it establishes gradually but becomes a hardy, long-lived perennial that provides reliable, pollinator-friendly blooms year after year.

Our Seed Promise

"Agriculture and seeds" provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations. For the benefit of all farmers, gardeners and consumers who want an alternative, we pledge that we do not knowingly buy or sell genetically engineered seeds or plants.

The mechanical transfer of genetic material outside of natural reproductive methods and between genera, families or kingdoms, poses great biological risks as well as economic, political, and cultural threats. We feel that genetically engineered varieties have been insufficiently tested prior to public release. More research and testing is necessary to further assess the potential risks of genetically engineered seeds. Further, we wish to support agricultural progress that leads to healthier soils, to genetically diverse agricultural ecosystems, and ultimately to healthy people and communities.
