Description: This late summer bloomer lights up sunny hillsides with its feathery flower spikes just as most wildflowers are going into seed. Dotted Blazing Stars are drought tolerant and seem to flourish in drier years. It's a very showy addition to sunny dry gardens and wildflower meadows.

Found in Nature: Sunny dry meadows and rocky sites, exposed hillsides.

Distribution: Plains, Foothills, Montane
