Why we love this plant!

Well-suited to South East Queensland’s subtropical climate, this delicate, grass-like plant thrives in shaded or woodland areas, where many other species may struggle. Its elegant white star-shaped flowers appear in clusters, attracting native insects and adding a soft, natural aesthetic to garden spaces. Low-maintenance and adaptable, it grows well in damp, sheltered positions, making it an excellent choice for underplanting, native-style gardens, or revegetation projects. Its fine, arching foliage provides texture and contrast in layered plantings.

Care Considerations

Watering preferences:

Requires regular watering when first planted, particularly during dry spells.
Once established, it is quite resilient.

Mulching preferences:

Applying mulch may help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilising preferences:

Minimal fertilisation required, but a light application of native plant fertiliser may support growth.

Pruning preferences:

Minimal pruning is needed—remove old flower stems and foliage to keep it looking fresh.

Good to Know:

Prefers semi-shaded conditions, making it a great choice for understory planting in South East Queensland.
