This delightful autumn flowering plant self seeds with abandon in my garden. An annual or short-lived perennial herb, puarangi is nationally critically endangered in the wild. It favours open ground in coastal areas and is susceptible to browsing by stock. Even though it grows up to 1 m tall, it struggles to compete with faster growing weeds.

I’m intent now on growing the seeds and spreading it throughout my garden. I love its fragility, its resilience, its beauty…
