Lapeirousia plants and species

Lapeirousia are a group of bulbous plants related to Iris, originally from South Africa many species do very well in rock garden conditions. 

A little confusion with this genus with some species being named as Anomatheca.

Although they have very attractive flowers, especially the blue flowering L. corymbosa, this is not a widely grown group of plants, limited to a few collectors in Australia. You will find seeds for sale online and occasionally plants for sale at rare plant fairs.

Species include:

  • Lapeirousia anceps- Pink to cream flowers.
  • Anomatheca laxa syn. Lapeirousia cruenta –  Some confusion with this species also listed as below.
  • Anomatheca laxa or Lapeirousia laxa – Now seeming listed as Fressia laxa.
  • Lapeirousia oreogena – This is perhaps one of the most attractive species, iridescent violent purple flowers with cream and black markings in the centre.
  • The diminutive Lapeirousia jacquinii – Very small growing, however with fascinating purple flowers on tallish spikes for the size of the plant.
  • Lapeirousia sandersonii – Pale mauve flowers.
  • Lapeirousia silenoides – Another very attractive species with very bright magenta flowers, cream markings in the centre.
  • Lapeirousia divaricata – This is a damp loving species, very pale mauve flowers.

Unfortunatley we have no listed suppliers of Lapeirousia plants and species in Australia
