An ornamental shrub that can be used for accent or contrast planting, low hedging and screening, or as a foreground plant in native landscapes. Additionally, it attracts birds and butterflies. The plant responds well to pruning.
The Purple Flowered Regelia is native to only a few small areas in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, and Jarrah Forest regions in the southern part of Western Australia.
Conservation code: Priority 4: Rare, Near Threatened and other species in need of monitoring
Prefers light well-drained soil in an open sunny position, drought resistant but frost tender.
Although seed can be sown most of the year in many parts of Australia seed is generally best sown in spring or autumn in temperate climates, avoiding the coldest and hottest months of the year. The optimum germination temperature for germination is around 18-22°.
Sow seed on a porous seed-raising mix and cover lightly. Do not bury the seed deeply.
Place in a warm shaded or semi-shaded position to avoid dying out.
The growing medium should be well draining but should remain moist between watering.
Germination should occur in 21-60 days depending on the temperature and conditions.
Pre-treatment of smoke is recommended for this species.
Many members of this genus are responsive to the pre-treatment of smoke. Although germination may occur without smoke treatment it has proved to be beneficial in reducing the number of days to germination and increasing germination rates in this species.
Smoke treatments are simple and can be undertaken either by soaking the seed overnight or by applying to the surface after sowing, both provide good results. Smoke treatments are available by clicking here.
