Stylidium Raptor Pink - 15cm Pot

Stylidium armeria ‘Raptor Pink’ is an attractive Australian native perennial producing delicate pink flowers on upright stems during spring and summer. Its colourful blooms rise above the foliage, creating a lovely display and adding height and texture to garden beds.

Commonly known as a Dinosaur Grass, Stylidium is recognised for its unusual flowers, which feature a specialised floral column that moves when triggered by visiting insects. This fascinating adaptation helps transfer pollen between flowers.

With its clumping growth habit, ‘Raptor Pink’ is well suited to native gardens, rockeries and mixed perennial borders. Its pink flowers provide a soft contrast against other Australian natives, making it an attractive choice for naturalistic and cottage-style planting.

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun to light shade in well-drained soil. ‘Raptor Pink’ tolerates a range of soil conditions, including poorer soils, provided drainage is adequate.

Water regularly while establishing. Once established, plants are relatively drought tolerant but benefit from occasional deep watering during extended hot, dry periods.

Deadhead regularly to maintain a tidy appearance and remove spent flowering stems as required. Trim away damaged or older foliage to encourage fresh growth and keep the plant looking neat.

Avoid waterlogged conditions, particularly during Melbourne's cooler, wetter months.
