Triodia irritans (common name: porcupine grass)
Propagation: Seed
Cultivation: We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy outdoors in Britain. However, it is hardy to about -7°c in Australian gardens[1], though this cannot be applied directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers and longer, colder, wetter winters[K]. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus.
Range: Australia - New South Wales.
Habitat: Dry inland areas[1].
Usage: The plant yields a resin[2].
Soil: Can grow in light, medium, and heavy soils.
Flower Type: Hermaphrodite
