Description: Arthropodium cirratum 'Matapouri Bay' is a lush, clump-forming evergreen perennial, prized for its broad, strappy green leaves and elegant sprays of starry white flowers in late spring and summer. This cultivar features a more robust, upright growth habit than the standard Renga Lily, making it ideal for mass planting, borders, and underplanting in shaded areas. The delicate, lightly scented flowers attract bees and butterflies, adding pollinator-friendly appeal to the garden. It thrives in part shade to full shade, tolerating coastal conditions and dry shade once established. This hardy, low-maintenance plant is perfect for Melbourne gardens, providing year-round structure with minimal care.
