Click here to join our waitlist

Sisyrinchium striatum is a graceful clump-forming perennial native to South America, known for its upright fans of grey-green foliage and elegant yellow flowers lightly etched with purple veins. Blooming from late spring into early summer, the starry blooms appear in vertical clusters atop strong stems, adding both height and fine texture to borders, rock gardens, and semi-dry landscapes. The species name striatum refers to the subtle striping on its leaves, which remain attractive throughout the growing season. While it has a refined, architectural look, this plant is remarkably tough — thriving in sunny, well-drained conditions and withstanding moderate frost.

It grows to around 45–60 cm tall, spreading slowly to form tidy clumps.

Growing conditions:

• Prefers full sun

• Well-drained soil

• Fully frost hardy

• Evergreen in mild areas; semi-deciduous in colder zones

Uses:

• Excellent for dry borders, gravel gardens, or containers

• Adds vertical structure and soft yellow tones

• Attracts beneficial insects
