Liatris spicata 'alba' bulbs/corms?

tabasco Cincinnati (Anderson, OH(Zone 6a) Feb 28, 2006

Hi, everybody--

Maybe somebody can please send me in the right direction--

I would like to find a source for fine, fat Liatris 'spicata alba' bulbs/corms and also Liatris 'violette' bulbs/corms that will produce tall spikes.

This year it seems like the tall white liatris corm is not readily available on the retail market though I found some on Tulip World's site (but they have a $9 shipping fee, which I think is a little high).

Does anyone know who the importer/distributor/specialist in the US is?

I already have a few seeds for various liatris, but I would like some corms for the tallest white. Failing that, I guess I can buy plants in summer, which I was hoping to avoid.

I did find Paghat's article that talks a lot about the spicata alba and other liatris...FYI....

Thanks. t.
