Characteristics

A natural colour variant of Lechenaultia biloba which differs from other forms in that it has a clear and sharp break between the white central portion of the flower and the deep blue outer area of the petals. The plant in the wild is an open wiry specimen but with judicious pruning could be shaped into an attractive garden bush doing best in a light gravel or sandy soil. Cultivar received by the Authority on 10 December 1974 from the ANBG.

Cultivation

Grows best in sandy, free draining slightly acidic soil with low nutrient levels. If keeping in tubs, choose a sandy potting mix.
