Liatris belongs to the Compositae family.
About 40 species of the hardy perennial grow across North America, from southern Canada to northern Mexico, and east of the Rocky Mountains through Florida.
Liatris spicata, L. aspera Michx. and L. pycnostachya Michx. are the major commercial species, often used as colorful accents in cut flower arrangements
and bouquets.
