Purple single stalk flowers

Thank you poppy

 

Liatris?

 

that is exactly what it is....i love them, you can call them gayfeather, blazing star or liatris....very easy to grow.

 

Thanks a lot everyone cheers. poppy :-D

 

Poppy, keep them deadheaded as the finish blooming. Some may even still have flowers coming out, but I would suggest cutting them off anyway, IF the top is already going to seed. Otherwise you will have them everywhere next year.

 

I have seen liatris in some gardens. Some garden centers sell them.
