Thysanotus patersonii, the twining fringe-lily, is a climbing perennial herb which is endemic to Australia.

[3] They ascend through the surrounding canopy by spiralling around nearby plants to attain a height between 0.6 and 0.8 metres.

[4] Thysanotus patersonii occurs across southern Australian states, excluding Queensland and the Northern Territory.

[8] Strips of this plant are used by the red-eared firetail Stagonopleura oculata, a small bird in Southwest Australia, in the construction of their elaborate nests.

It is grown from seed, favouring full sun and free drainage, and will trail out from rocks or loosely spiral up on neighbouring plants.
