Sticking to the wildflower theme of Wednesday's blog post, I have decided to indulge you all in one of my personal all-time favorite flowers... Liatris!!
Liatris are native to North America [that's right, you can grow them], Mexico, and the Bahamas. They also have some nicknames [which are always fun]: "Blazing Star", "Gay-feather", and "Purple Stick of the Gods". [Alright, I made that last one up, but I thought it sounded pretty legit. And only the last one. I promise.] They also tend to attract butterflies and are low maintenance- perfect for an at home garden!
And lucky for all of you, we at Arapahoe Floral carry liatris all the time! The bright purple works beautifully with any color palate [my personal favorite being with greens and warm hues]. They add height to arrangements, and their unique look will impress anybody and everybody. They also tend to age well, so if you want a long-lasting arrangement, liatris is a great way to go.
Swing by and pick up a bunch or just ask us to include some liatris in your next arrangement. You'll be happy you did. Trust me. I have great taste :)
