Dense Blazing Star Wildfower Research

Dense Blazing Star

           My wildflower name is the Dense Blazing Star. Its sientific classification is Asteraceae, and its scientific name is Liatris Spicata. The Dense Blazing Star is native in New Jersey, Michigan, and Illinois. It’s also south to Florida and Louisiana. The bloom color of my wildflower is purple, and it blooms in July, August, and September. Its natural habitat has to be in moist wood openings, by mesic praries and marsh edges. This flower attracts butterflies, and hummingbirds seem to like this flower also. This flower is also very important to Bumble Bees.
