Haloragis aspera
Haloragis aspera, or Rough Raspwort, is a hardy, upright perennial herb native to Australia, typically found in damp woodlands, grasslands, and along riparian zones. Growing up to 1 meter tall, it features rough-textured, toothed green leaves and small, reddish-green flowers that bloom along the stems from spring to summer, adding subtle interest to natural landscapes.
Thriving in well-drained to moist soils and tolerating full sun to partial shade, Rough Raspwort is well-suited for native gardens, revegetation projects, and habitat restoration efforts. Its foliage provides shelter for insects, while its flowers attract pollinators such as bees, contributing to biodiversity in its surroundings.
With its adaptability, ecological benefits, and understated beauty, Haloragis aspera is a versatile and functional choice for sustainable landscaping, native plantings, and biodiversity-focused projects.
