How to Care for the Plant
Water
You should provide water to newly planted corms as needed for the first few weeks. Once established they require little water, so allow the soil to dry between waterings
Fertilizer
Liatris plants don’t really need fertilizing, especially if grown in healthy soil, though you can add fertilizer prior to new growth in spring, if desired, or add some slow-release fertilizer or compost to the bottom of the hole at planting time to give corms a good start.
Sunlight
