Thysanotus wangariensis, the Eyre Peninsula fringe-lily, is a small perennial wildflower from South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, with purple fringed flowers in umbels. It is a wild heathland species rarely grown in gardens, so care is adapted from its native conditions.
Thysanotus wangariensis, commonly known as Eyre Peninsula fringe-lily, is a species of flowering plant in the Asparagaceae family, and is endemic to South Australia. It is a perennial herb with a small rhizome, fibrous roots, several branched stems with umbels of up to three purple flowers with linear sepals, elliptic, fringed petals and six stamens with anthers of different lengths.
Eyre Peninsula fringe-lily grows in low, heath vegetation in sandy loamy soil, between Wangary and Port Lincoln in the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia.
