It has erect, leafy stems arising from a perennial rootstock and reaches about 500mm high. The cream flowers occur in candle-like clusters (30-100mm long) at the ends of the stems in spring and summer. The flowers have a pleasant scent at night. This is a very desirable small plant for gardens but it is rarely cultivated as it has proven difficult to maintain. Best results are likely to be achieved in well drained, moist soils with some protection from full sun. Seed of S.monogyna is rarely available and propagation is best carried out from cuttings of new stems arising from the rootstock. Propagation can also be carried out by division.<br /> Family: Celastraceae &nbsp; Genus: Stackhousia &nbsp; Species: monogyna &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: White<br />Stephen L (Clare) SAMon, 02 Feb 2015 14:33:00 GMTCreamy Candleshttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/221+creamy-candleshttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/221+creamy-candles<a href="https://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/221+creamy-candles"><img src="https://cdn.exploroz.com/images/GalleryTag_W221__TN130.jpg" border="0" align="left" hspace="5" /></a> Glabrous perennial, with spikes of creamy-white flowers on erect stems.
