Orthrosanthus multiflorus, commonly known as Morning Iris, is a striking native Australian perennial that brings vibrant colour to any garden, ideal for borders, rockeries, and mixed plantings. This hardy performer blooms with delicate purple-blue flowers during spring and summer, adding seasonal interest and attracting pollinators. It thrives in light shade but adapts well to full sun, and prefers well-draining, sandy soil—even tolerating alkaline conditions. 
Perfect for water-wise gardens and naturalistic landscapes, Orthrosanthus multiflorus is low-maintenance once established and pairs beautifully with other native groundcovers and perennials. Trim back once a year in Autumn for beautiful new growth and flowers next Spring.

Grown in our premium deep tubes, ready to be planted directly into your garden with a strong, well-developed root system.

Use a fertiliser low in phosphorus such as Neutrog Bush Tucker or Osmocote Native, following the manufacturers application rates.
