Stylidium Palgarup Trigger

Also known as Trigger Grass, Stylidium Trigger Plant is a stunning tufting Australian native that features deep green foliage and clusters of flowers ranging in colour from white to bright pink. The common name comes from the unusual way these flowers disperse pollen; they have a cocked trigger that springs upwards when an insect visits the flower and dumps a load of pollen on the back of it’s head; the insect then deposits on other flowers as it goes about it’s business. People can trigger the same explosive reaction as insects by tickling the inside of the flower with a bit of stiff grass. Once triggered, the column needs about an hour or more before it can hit again. Trigger Grass is perfect for rockeries, verges, native gardens, poolside, coastal gardens, pots and containers.
