Asphodeline lutea

Asphodoline lutea makes neat evergreen tussocks of narrow fleshy blue leaves. From mid spring until mid summer stiff strong vertical stems carry a long succession of green tinged, acid yellow stars, each petal having a marked green central vein. I got our stock from Buda, a fine house and garden open to the public in Castlemaine, about 15 years ago. The flower stems grow to 60cm in our dry garden but will get taller in a more benign spot. Drought tolerant. 60cm x 30cm.
