Tall, dense spikes of purple flowers open from the top down, creating a vertical wand of color. This native perennial thrives in moist soils and draws in butterflies while resisting deer browsing.

Plant Spike Gayfeather in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Space plants 12-15 inches apart. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots, then reduce frequency. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Divide clumps every 3-4 years in early spring to maintain vigor.
