Stylidium graminifolium

"Stylidium graminifolium, or Grass Triggerplant, is a graceful, perennial herb native to Australia, commonly found in grasslands, open forests, and rocky outcrops. Growing up to 50 cm tall, it features narrow, grass-like green leaves forming a neat basal rosette, with slender flower stems bearing clusters of delicate pink to mauve flowers. Blooming from spring to early summer, the flowers are notable for their trigger mechanism, which assists in pollination by flicking onto visiting insects.

Thriving in well-drained soils and tolerating full sun to light shade, Grass Triggerplant is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it ideal for native gardens, rockeries, and wildflower plantings. Its flowers attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and native insects, contributing to local biodiversity.

With its unique pollination mechanism, elegant form, and adaptability, Stylidium graminifolium is a delightful addition to sustainable landscaping, native gardens, and biodiversity-focused projects.
