Aristea is a genus of evergreen rhizomatous perennials in the Iridaceae family found in Sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. Most are rarely grown although Aristea ecklonii is a common garden plant. Aristea is wonderful a plant for gardens in milder climates. Easy to propagate and cultivate; the plants are attractive throughout the year with evergreen leaves in neat clumps and intense blue flowers from October to November, followed by the attractive dry flower stems. Growing in the garden the plants require full sun to semi-shade and a rich soil that is well drained, but not too dry and sandy. During the winter and spring the plants require plenty of water. If one is planting an indigenous garden, this is an excellent plant to combine with restios, proteas and buchu for a fynbos look. On offer is a pack of 10 Seeds |
