Genus: Sisyrinchium

Tasteyg, no special care that I know of.....maybe just to be sure to mark where you plant it because it can look like a normal clump of grass and get yanked out for a weed !
Lori, sorry I missed your question, they're seedpods.

I just purchased one of these. Do they need special care? Nice photo!

Thanks all

Great colour Janette.

beautiful, i love the colour

I havent got any idea what type TT but it is a Sisyrinchium .

It,s lovely ,I haven,t heard of that !

Which variety is this, please?
Is it a type of Sisyrinchium ?
It's very attractive. :o)

Thank you Spritzhenry, just as I thought. I wonder why Iris is dealt with differently? I must admit it does look better with some leaves left on the plant rather than scalping it!

I just cut out the flower stems and pull off the black leaves to tidy the plants up. Sometimes I take off a fan or two if they are getting a bit crowded, and plant them up elsewhere or in a pot for a friend!

Just realised that I didn't tell you what plant I am talking about! Its Sisyrinchium striatum. ( I thought it was a site dedicated to just this plant for some reason!)

Thanks

Bought some of this little beauty at Herterton Gardens, Northumberland last week.

The gardens are well worth a visit

What a lovely rock garden.

What a great pic! Lovely.

Yes Amy its a Bonsai that has lived outdoors for the last 30 years. It will need to be transferred to a new Bonsai pot later this year as it has outgrown the current container and it is looking a little 'tired.'

beautiful

very nice ,is that a bonsia at the back?

they look lovely,,

Not ground cover Eileen but you can split them and dot them around the place

would they be good for ground cover janette?

They are lovely little things ar,nt they

These are great little flowers.

Great close-up, The yellow eye really stands out !

Lovely picture - our clump is coming into flower now, but during the winter many of the leaves blacken - still it survives. I like the little ones too, which seem to be self-seeding in our garden.

I've seen pics on three different pages... it's a wild flower here too..love the little seed pods...or are they minibulbs?

Lovely close-up!

its beautiful
