Approx. 40cm tall. These end-of-batch plants have some leaf marks and yellowing, with variation in size and appearance. Despite these cosmetic imperfections, they remain healthy and actively growing, and will establish well over time—making them a great choice for bold, architectural landscape planting.
Doryanthes Excelsa (Gymea Lily) is a majestic, Australian native known for its striking, sword-like green foliage and dramatic red flower head that blooms in spring. The large, lush leaves can reach over 1 meter in height, making it an impressive feature plant for pots, courtyards, or larger garden landscapes.
Ideal for both residential and commercial settings, the Gymea Lily is equally stunning when mass planted, adding bold texture and vibrant colour. Its long-lasting foliage and flowers are also popular in cut flower arrangements, providing a unique and eye-catching element to any space.
