| Description | Doryanthes excelsa
The Doryanthes Excelsa's leaves grow upto 2-2.5m. The straight flowering stalk grows upto 6-8m and bears a large cluster of bright red flowers, each 10 centimetres across.
The larger variety, the Doryanthes Palmeri, grows leaves that reach 3m, hence the name Giant Spear Lily. Its stalk grows upto 5m and droops rather than standing upright due to the weight of the flowers.
Doryanthes Excelsa flowers in spring but can take over 13 years to flower. Flowering can be brought on by bushfires, which also promotes the sprouting of root bulbs
6'' pot | Pittosporum tenuifolium
Wonder Screen is a new form of Pittosporum that is noted for its dense and tighter habit. Similar to 'Silver Sheen' foliage it produces a striking mix of silver and green with dark stems. Although this variety is tolerant of most soil types it prefers a well drained soil in a full sun to semi shade position. Grows to approximately 2-4m in height. | Pittosporum tenuifolium
Also known as the New Zealand Pittosporum, Stephen's Island is an evergreen compact shrub with attractive dark-green foliage. It's a fantastic dense hedge and used extensively as an ornamental. Great for coastal conditions being from Stephen's Island in the middle of the Cook Strait.
