Summary
Lagenophora stipitata, commonly known as blue bottle-daisy or common lagenophora, is a perennial herb native to a variety of habitats including grasslands, open forests, and alpine regions in eastern mainland Australia, Tasmania, Southeast China, East Asia, Java, and New Guinea. It typically forms a low rosette of leaves and bears small, daisy-like flowers with blue to violet petals and a yellow center, blooming mainly in the spring and summer months. The flowers are modest in size but can add a delicate touch of color to garden settings.
Blue bottle-daisy is appreciated for its hardiness and ability to thrive in a range of conditions, making it a versatile choice for gardeners. It is often used in rockeries, as a ground cover, or in borders due to its low-growing habit. This plant prefers well-drained soils, tolerates partial shade to full sun, and requires moderate watering. While it is not known for significant pest or disease issues, it can be susceptible to root rot in poorly drained soils. It is also valued for its ability to attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies to the garden.CC BY-SA 4.0
