Sisyrinchium (Iridaceae) BSWJ9117

convolutum

A small bulbous perennial species that we collected the seed of on the summit area of Volcán Zunil in 2001 at 3550m. Where they formed low growing creeping colonies on sunny well drained ledges. With flat fan-forming grassy blades of foliage to 30 cm tall in richer soils, bearing large yellow cupped flowers displayed on taller branched stems, soon followed by inflated seed capsules. Requires full sun-part shade and a well drained soil.
