Hesperantha humilis
Hesperantha
Description
Hesperantha humilis, a charming perennial from South Africa, is prized for its late-season blooms and delicate beauty. It features clumps of slender, grass-like foliage and produces a profusion of small, star-shaped flowers. The flowers, often white or pale pink, provide a refreshing burst of color in the late summer or early autumn garden. Hesperantha humilis thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-draining soil. It is relatively easy to grow and attracts pollinators, such as bees and butterflies. Plant in the spring or fall, and deadhead the spent flower spikes to encourage more blooms. It is a versatile plant that can enhance borders, rock gardens, and other garden settings. The plant’s compact size makes it a good choice for small gardens.
