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
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.
