Liatris spicata 'Kobold'
Choose Kobold Blazing Star for a sunny border that needs tight upright summer color and cut flowers; the tradeoff is it works best in groups, not as a single focal plant.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | Upright bloom spikes give clear summer punctuation, especially when repeated through a border. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It fills in quickly for a perennial but still looks best when planted in multiples. |
| Maintenance | B+ | Care is simple once established, though spent stems and late-season cleanup are worth doing. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | A- | Its upright habit gives good flower presence without taking over nearby plants. |
| Screening Value | F | This is a flowering perennial, not a plant for privacy or structure. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Kobold in small groups through sunny perennial beds, paired with lower plants that cover its base. Avoid making one plant carry the whole display.

Yes, the flower spikes draw bees and butterflies when in bloom.
Yes, cut stems as the lower florets begin to open.
Several is better; a single plant can look thin.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
