I WANT this flower !
« on: September 02, 2013, 18:49 »
This fine flower appeared in a friends garden, and I want it!


Can anyone tell me what its name is and how to propagate it?

Cheers and thanks in anticipation,   Tony.

Thanks for that Mum, it certainly looks similar but its less than two foot in height.  Those on the web are tall, or very very tall.

Now I have a name I can search for how to save the seeds.   Cheers,   Tony.

Yup Liatris spicata  :)

You do see them in the herbaceous perennial sections of garden centres, but they are cheaper to buy as bulbs  ;)  They'll be in the garden centres around January when the summer flowering bulbs arrive.

This is my fave web shop for bulbs. Brilliant value if you want a decent quantity of something  :)
