Orthrosanthus multiflorus, commonly known as Morning Iris, is a clumping perennial that produces masses of blue-violet flowers in spring and summer. This Australian native plant grows up to 50 cm tall and 50 cm wide, with narrow leaves that form dense clumps. It prefers a well-draining soil and a sunny or partially shaded position. Morning Iris are drought-tolerant and low maintenance, making them an ideal choice for garden borders, rockeries, and mass plantings. They also attract bees and butterflies to the garden and can be used as cut flowers.
