Barleria
obtusa ~ Bush Violet
|
| Barleria obtusa is a
medium sized bush. The Bush Violet will grow to around 3-4 feet tall
and will gradually widen to 6-10 feet or more if left unconstrained.
Barleria obtusa is quite content in a dry garden, particularly in the
shade. The Bush Violet will grow in full sun near the coast and in
light shade in inland locations. Barleria obtusa is will grow with
natural rainfall once established. The blue flowers are more
abundant in a sunnier location and are produced in the late Fall through to the
Early Spring. Plants are hardy with temperatures that drop into the
mid 20's. Reasonable drainage is a requirement, with heavy soils
plants should grow on a slope or mound. Barleria obtusa is native to
South Africa.
