Thysanotus brevifolius is a small tufted perennial from southern Western Australia, grown mainly as a native rockery or wildflower-garden plant. It is a tuberous-rooted Australian native, so keep it on the drier side and give it a sunny, well-drained spot.
Thysanotus brevifolius is a species of flowering plant in the Asparagaceae family, and is endemic to the south of Western Australia. It is a tufted, rhizomatous, perennial herb, with narrow, flat leaves, umbels of 20 to 50 purple flowers with linear sepals, elliptic, fringed petals, six stamens and a straight style.
This species grows sandy-loamy soils in open mallee heath, to the south and north-west of the Stirling Range, in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains and Jarrah Forest bioregions of southern Western Australia.
