Sisyrinchium striatum

Lovely plant with strappy, blue-green Iris-like leaves and small pale-yellow flowers through summer

Established plants in 2 litre containers

Description

Sisyrinchium striatum is a really unusual but very useful Iris-like plant, grown often in dry settings in full sun in amongst drought-tolerant planting or Mediterranean herbs. It has sprays of attractive, grey-green flat leaves, very similar to something like a small bearded Iris, and in summer puts up spikes adorned with beautiful pale-yellow flowers. When fully-grown the plant puts on quite a show. Its flowers work as an excellent contrast to pastel blues and purples while it shares with Iris the ability to provide strong foliage contrast in a mixed border – there is nothing quite like it in form and colouration.
These established, garden-ready plants have been grown at our nursery in Cornwall and are supplied in 2 litre containers. They will grow to an ultimate height of about 60cm (24 inches) and a spread of around 30cm (12 inches).

Growing Advice

Sisyrinchium striatum does best in full sun settings, in well-drained, moderately fertile soils. It doesn’t like to completely dry out, but won’t tolerate winter wet well so avoid heavy soils.

Before ordering with us please make sure you read the pages below to help you understand what to expect when buying plants online from a nursery such as ours. For instance the photographs in our listings are intended to give you an impression of our plants in their mature (and usually flowering) form. The last photograph in this listing provides an indication of the size of the plant to expect when you buy from us. It is not a guarantee of the way the top growth will look when you receive the plant(s), as this will depend on the time of the season you have ordered the plant and it simply isn’t possible to provide photographs of the plants at every stage of growth during the year. Plants ordered in spring, autumn or winter for example may have much reduced or tired top growth that will regrow later in the season / the following season and you should be aware of this when ordering at these times. If you have any questions about the current condition of any of our plants please do get in touch, or see the links below for more information about what to expect.
