{"title":"Liatris","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlso known as gayfeather, liatris is unusual in that the composite flowers bloom from the top of the stalk to the bottom, unlike most spiking flowers. The gorgeous inflorescences attract pollinators and are particularly important to certain moth species. A perennial, liatris begins blooming in its second year. It overwinters in the form of corms, underground tuber-like stems. Liatris needs cold to germinate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"north-east-native-mix","title":"Northeast Native Wildflower Seed Mix","description":"\u003cp\u003eInvite this blend of native wildflowers into a patch of bare ground; within 2-3 years, you will have manifested a beautiful plant community, one that provides habitat for the many organisms that have co-evolved with the native plants of North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mix shifts based on availability, but it includes only plants that are native to the eastern half of North America.
