Stackhousia viminea, commonly known as Slender Stackhousia, is a perennial herb that is native to a variety of habitats including coastal heathland, grassy woodlands, and open forests, primarily in southeastern Australia. It typically grows up to 28 inches (70 cm) tall and has a slender, erect form. Slender Stackhousia is characterized by its small, tubular, yellowish-red flowers that bloom in spring and summer, forming terminal spikes that are moderately showy. The plant is named after the English botanist John Stackhouse and was first described by botanist James Edward Smith.

In cultivation, Slender Stackhousia is valued for its delicate appearance and the subtle beauty of its flowers. It is often used in native plant gardens, as a border plant, or in naturalized areas where its preference for moist conditions can be accommodated. It thrives in well-drained soils with consistent moisture and can tolerate partial shade, though it flowers best in full sun. While not commonly found in cultivation, it can be an interesting addition to a garden that focuses on native or drought-tolerant plants. Gardeners should be aware that it may require protection from snails and slugs, which can damage the foliage.CC BY-SA 4.0
