Description

Gaura lindheimeri "Butterfly Bush"

Butterfly Bush is a bushy, hardy perennial shrub with long graceful stems that bloom with pale pink flowers in spring-summer. These stems grow up to 1m long, but can be clipped back shorter, and sway gracefully in the breeze. The name of a popular variety, Whirling Butterflies, perfectly describes the way the plant resembles a cloud of butterflies when swaying in the breeze. 6" pot size.

Doryanthes excelsa 

The Gymea Lily (Doryanthes excelsa) is a striking foliage plant which has leaves that grow up to 2-2.5m in lenth. The straight flowering stalk grows up to 6-8m and bears a large cluster of bright red flowers, each 10 centimetres across. When it does flower, Doryanthes excelsa flowers in spring. However it can take over 13 years to flower. Flowering can be brought on by bushfires, which also promotes the sprouting of root bulbs.

Why buy a Gymea Lily?

[one_half] [/one_half] [one_half_last] Gymea Lily's are architectural plants that have strong shapely foliage which draws the eye and contrasts against almost any other plant or building. They look great in a modern garden. The larger variety, the Doryanthes palmeri, grows leaves that reach 3m, hence the name Giant Spear Lily. Its stalk grows up to 5m and droops rather than standing upright due to the weight of the flowers. [/one_half_last]
