About

This robust, bulbous herbaceous plant is distinguished by its long, strap-like leaves that form a large clump. It produces clusters of fragrant, spidery white flowers on tall stalks, often with a hint of red in the stamens.

Where it works in Kilifi

Thrives in full sun to partial shade, tolerating a variety of well-drained soils common along the coast. Its striking foliage and flowers make it an excellent specimen plant or a dramatic addition to borders and poolside plantings.

Growing notes

A moderately fast-growing plant, it requires regular watering until established, after which it tolerates periods of drought. All parts of the plant are considered toxic if ingested, so place with care around pets and children.
