You can transplant new plants in fall or early spring, or dig up and move your existing blazing star plants to a new location in fall after they are done flowering.

Should Liatris be divided?

Blazing star or gayfeather (Liatris spp.) grows from a tuberous root or corm that stores most of the energy and nutrients the plant needs to grow and flower each year. … Dividing not only thins the bed, it provides you with more roots and corms so you can add even more liatris blooms to your landscape.

How do you transplant a blazing star?

To help blazing star spread, dig corms in late fall, remove the smaller bulblets, store indoors in a cool, dark location in winter and replant about 1 to 2 inches deep in spring. These bulblets will eventually form new plants that will flower in the same color as the mother plant. Blazing star is a versatile plant.
