Tall, bright stems loaded with flowers make Prairie Blazing Star an eye-catching plant and favorite of hummingbirds, butterflies, and pollinators. The upright stems covered with pink flowers in mid to late summer. A mature clump can send up handfuls of flowering stems, creating a strong vertical accent in sunny prairie gardens.
Prairie Blazing Star grows well in a range of soils and can handle somewhat wet and clay conditions. This makes it a good choice for rain gardens, low areas, and shoreline plantings. In garden settings it looks good with other mid to late summer prairie plants such as Orange Coneflower, Bee Balm, and prairie grasses that help support the tall stems.
