Xeronema callistemon - Poor knights lily size:6ltr considered use of silk shadingPerfect, bright green, sword like leaves make the Poor Knights lily a striking, structural plant. In contrast to the small, inconspicuous flower of most native plants, this lily produces large, bright red flower spikes. Perhaps our finest native flowering specimen. Suits outdoors in containers or planted straight in the ground, in free draining soil that mimics the rocky cliff top habitat of this species. Perfect for entrances, decks, and balcony
