Barleria elegans

by Johan Wentzel

Barleria elegans
Common Name
White Bushveld barleria
Plant Type
Shrub
This lovely Barleria flowers profusely in late summer/ autumn and is a good subject for a rockery. Due to its thorny nature, it can form a very good barrier.

Plant Description

Barleria elegans flowers profusely in late summer and into autumn and is a good subject for a rockery. Barleria elegans is pollinated by insects and attracts various species of butterflies. The insects attract insectivorous birds, therefore this plant is a good choice for attracting wildlife into the garden. It is a fast grower and very adaptable. Due to its thorny nature, it can form a very good barrier.

Plant Barleria elegans in a compost-rich soil for best results. Trim back in late autumn, after flowering.

You may find stock of this plant at Random Harvest.
