Stylidium Raptor Pink

Raptor Pink Trigger Plant is an Australian native perennial producing masses of small pink flowers on tall, branching stems over an extended season in summer. The common name comes from the insect-triggered pollen-delivery mechanism in each flower - a hinged column that snaps forward to deposit pollen on visiting bees and flies in a fraction of a second, a mechanism unique to the Stylidium genus. The flowers are small individually but produced in such quantity that the plant makes a vivid display. Full sun to part shade. Sandy, well-drained soil. Phosphorus-free fertiliser. Very drought tolerant once established.
