Wahlenbergia capillaris, commonly known as Tufted Bluebell, is a perennial herb native to a variety of habitats including grasslands, open forests, and woodland clearings in Australia and New Guinea. This plant typically grows up to 20 inches high and features linear leaves. Its blue, bell-shaped flowers are arranged in cymes and are known for their delicate appearance. Flowering mainly occurs between October and March, adding a splash of color to the landscape during these months.

Tufted Bluebell is appreciated for its low maintenance and the charming blue flowers that can enhance the beauty of informal garden borders, cottage gardens, and naturalized areas. It is also suitable for container planting. This species prefers well-drained soil and can tolerate a range of soil types, from sandy to loamy. It thrives in full sun to part shade and requires moderate watering, especially during dry periods. While it is not prone to serious pest or disease problems, overwatering can lead to root rot. Tufted Bluebell can self-seed under optimal conditions, which should be monitored to prevent unwanted spread.CC BY-SA 4.0
