Arthropodium cirratum - Renga Renga Lily
An attractive, hardy perennial from New Zealand, which bears graceful sprays of starry white flowers on stems up to 60cm high in late spring. The broad, handsome strap-like foliage has a distinct bluish hue and clumping to 1 metre.
Will grow in most soil types and has a very low water requirement once established. It is drought tolerant, but frost tender. Ideal for coastal conditions. Spent flowers can be trimmed away from the base of the stem. Feed with a long term, slow release fertiliser in spring.
Also recommended is the use of a slug/snail repellant. They thrive in our warmer climate in a dry shade position under the canopy of taller trees.
They make a wonderful display mass planted and are looking a picture in my garden at the moment!
