Stypandra is characterized by its striking, blue-violet flowers and stem-clasping leaves. This perennial herb thrives in well-drained sandy soils, often found in open woodlands and coastal areas. The unique arrangement of its smooth, linear leaves along the stems helps in maximizing sunlight capture, crucial for growth in environments with variable light.
Propagation:
Stypandra propagation methods include seed sowing, division, and cuttings, with seed sowing being most common. It requires warm temperatures (20°C/68°F), adequate light, and well-drained soil. Care must be taken to avoid root rot. Seedlings are transplanted after developing true leaves.
