    Description

    5 SEEDS
    Moraea polystachya was described (as Iris polystachya ) by Thunberg, the 'father of Cape botany', in 1782, from a collection he had made in the Eastern Cape 'in the area of the Sundays and Fish Rivers'.
    The species name polystachya, meaning many-branched, refers to the inflorescence, which differed greatly from the few-flowered species of the Western Cape already known to Thunberg.
    In a good year, usually in autumn, the large deep blue to violet iris-like flowers appear in eye-catching displays in the arid central interior of southern Africa.
    The plants are perennial geophytes, the leaves and aerial stems dying back to the large dark-coated corm during the period of dormancy following flowering and seeding.
    The flowering stem averages about 0.8 m tall although well-grown plants can be much taller.
    The flowering stem is many-branched at the top, and although each flower lasts only one day, a succession of flowers is produced so that the flowering period may last for six to eight weeks.
    A very drought tolerant species, long-blooming, vigorous and gets bigger and stronger every year .
    Moraea polystachya is easy and rewarding to grow.
