Botanical name: Wurmbea stricta

Wurmbea stricta, known as water-phlox,  is a striking plant known for its starry pink-and-white flowers and needle-like leaves. Thriving in full sun and heavy clay soil, it forms large colonies in wetlands, blooming from late winter to spring. This winter-growing geophyte is pollinated by honey bees and can be cultivated in containers or rock gardens, requiring dry conditions during summer dormancy. While not commonly grown, its unique beauty and ease of propagation make it a deserving addition to diverse garden settings.
