Aristea ecklonii thrives in a diverse range of environments, including forest margins, grasslands, scrublands, and riverbanks. The plant displays basal, lanceolate leaves that are a vibrant shade of green. Its flowers are a captivating mix of blue and purple, but they only last for a single day before wilting. Luckily, it flowers multiple times throughout the year. When it comes to gardening in warm-temperate areas like USDA Zones 9 and above, Aristea ecklonii is a standout plant.
