Lobostemon montanus
15 seeds

Lobostemon montanus is a shrub from the Borage family with
unusually large leaves for the genus, which are complemented by a
cluster of pale blue flowers set within a rosette of silvery, grey-green
leaves.
Lobostemon montanus is a woody, perennial, freely branching
shrub 1 m tall and spreading up to 2 m wide. It has oval to elongated,
thick, leathery, grey-green to silvery, hairy leaves forming
rosette-like clusters at the ends of branches. The leaves cover the
entire plant to ground level producing a compact, rounded mushroom-like
effect.

The flowers are short, tubular, bell- or funnel-shaped
and pale sky-blue to turquoise and face upwards. They are often striped
white and blue like an old man's pajamas. There are 5 stamens per flower
that often protrude from the flower; they are usually purple, providing
a striking contrast with the pale flowers.

Lobostemon montanus grows in harsh, windy, warm and dry
habitats near the coast, surviving summer drought and persistent, strong
summer wind. It appears to prefer rocky areas where the soils are
sandy, well-drained and limited in depth.
Treat seed with hot water and thereafter with smoke to aid germination. Sow seeds in late summer or spring for best results.
