Summary
Dampiera trigona, commonly known as Angled-Stem Dampiera, is an evergreen subshrub native to the sandy soils and coastal heathlands of Southwestern Australia. It typically grows to a height of 0.8-1 feet (0.2-0.3 meters) and spreads 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters) wide. The plant has a compact, mounding form with angled stems, and it produces vibrant blue and purple flowers during the spring and summer months, which are moderately showy and attract pollinators.
Angled-Stem Dampiera is valued for its drought tolerance once established and its ability to thrive in poor soils, making it a suitable choice for rockeries, coastal gardens, and as a ground cover in sunny areas. It is also used for its ornamental flowers and as a low-maintenance plant in water-wise gardens. In cultivation, it prefers full sun exposure but can tolerate light shade, requires moderate watering, and performs best in well-drained soils. While generally pest-free, it can be susceptible to root rot in poorly drained conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
