GayfeatHer  Liatris punctata var. mucronata
An important plant during the fall butterfly and hummingbird migrations, this perennial 
sometimes requires two years before making a bloom. Strong roots grow down as deep as   
16 feet, and will easily cling to any poor, infertile, well-drained soil. Often found growing on 
limestone bluffs and cuts. Also makes a good cut flower.

GayfeatHer, BlazInG star  Liatris pycnostachya
We found this perennial growing in thick stands on damp, sandy clay near the Katy prairies. 
If you live in an area of sandy, well-drained soils and get frequent rainfall, you’ll want to 
plant this species rather than Liatris mucronata. This one is adapted to 30-40” rainfall areas 
of Texas’ coastal bend, north thru the blacklands and open bottomlands of the Piney Woods.

Green MIlkweed Asclepias viridis
The only thing more beautiful than the intricate, satiny flowers of this plant are the soft, 
fluffy seeds that emerge from its pods in the fall. The milkweeds are all important to the life 
cycle of butterflies. Monarchs particularly like the Green Milkweed and are famous for their 
migration which spans the life of three to four generations of the butterfly.
