Your little winged friends will be thrilled with a few of these blazing stars in the backyard. Happy nature, happy people!
Care

Water your plant twice a week in the summer. Don’t worry if you’re going away on holiday or forget a watering session once or twice, this sturdy plant can handle some dry soil for a while.
Stand

The blazing star prefers a spot in the sun or partial shade. It’s a perennial plant, so you can leave him outside in the winter.
Potting

Repot your plant once every two or three years, preferably in the spring. Did your plant grow a lot this past year? Make sure you repot him in a bigger pot.
