Thysanotus parviflorus is a small perennial wildflower native to sandy soils in south-west Western Australia, known for its purple fringed flowers in spring. It is a wild species rarely grown in gardens, and it needs sandy, well-drained soil and good light to thrive.
Thysanotus parviflorus is a species of flowering plant in the Asparagaceae family, and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a perennial herb with fleshy roots and one or two terete, narrowly linear leaves, umbels of four to six purple flowers with linear sepals, broadly elliptic to circular, fringed petals and six stamens of differing lengths.
This species of Thysanotus grows in low mallee eucalypt sandplain on the lower slopes of hills in sandy-loam soils in southern coastal Western Australia from West Mount Barren to the Stirling Range.
