Twining Fringed Lily

Twining Fringed Lily (Thysanotus patersonii) is a perennial plant native to the southeastern and southwestern regions of Australia, including New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, and Victoria, as well as Western Australia. Known for its edible roots and stems, this plant thrives in full sun with varying soil conditions—ranging from light (sandy) to medium—and can tolerate both dry and moist environments. Its distinctive feature is the twining habit of its stems, which allow it to climb or trail over other plants, making it an interesting ornamental addition to gardens while also providing a food source for those familiar with its use.
