Liatris Spicata
This is an herbaceous perennial that produces narrow grass-like leaves with spikes of fluffy purple-pink flowers held high above the foliage. The flowers are unusual in that the flower spike opens from the top of the stem downwards. It flowers in late summer, early autumn when many other perennials are over. The flowers are very long lasting and last long in water in the house.
Liatris will grow in any well drained soil in full sun, if the soil is too wet in the winter it may rot. The flower spikes grow up to 80cm in height. Cut back the flowering spikes in the autumn, if you like a tidy garden, or in the spring before new growth starts.
