Liatris, or gayfather,[1] is a genus of flowering plants. It is in the sunflower family of the boneset tribe. It is native to North America (Canada, United States, Mexico and the Bahamas).[2][3][4] Its most common name is blazing star.[1][4]

They are perennials, meaning they grow leaves and flowers every year. They survive winter as corms.[4]

Liatris species are used as food by the larvae of some butterflies and moths. The bleeding flower moth's larvae only feed on Liatris.
