A new and distinct cultivar of Liatris spicata (L.) Willd. named ‘BCLT-08.001’ originated as an open controlled cross of Liatris spicata (L.) Willd. ‘Cobalt’. The present variety is similar to its parents in that it is a relatively compact plant with strong stems. It differs from its parents in that its lower leaves are resistant to blackening and are so wavy that they can be corkscrew in form. It has bright inflorescences that are resistant to drooping, and good commercial characteristics.
