The Doryanthes palmeri is a beautiful large Australian native lily that grows in a solitary patch along the East Coast, in Queensland and New South Wales. The giant spear lily is a large-leaved lily with bright green sword-like foliage that grows in rosettes. It only flowers once, and the result is a massive red flower head on a long stalk. The plant may take many years to attain flowering maturity, but the wait is worthwhile. Just one plant as a focal point in a pot or courtyard looks spectacular while mass planting in a large space gives a dramatic effect. So order your giant spear lily today for delivery across Sydney.
