Kobold Liatris Plant Care Instructions: Keep the plant well-watered for the first 3-4 weeks. After that, only water if the plant starts looking droopy.

Spring is a good time to apply fertilizer for the year. Plants can be divided every 3-5 years.

Very full & healthy for this small pot. Many stems getting ready to bloom now, several weeks later

Bought 3 at a good price. Product arrived in great condition due to excellent packing. All three arrived with a nice bunch of leaves and appeared to be ready for planting. It's only been a day or so since planting, but all three are doing well in 95 degree Georgia heat.

The plant was healthy and well packaged. It took 2 transplants to figure out the best soil environment for this one. It struggled a bit in the first pot but appears to be doing better in its 2nd one.
