Doryanthes palmeri

, commonly known as Giant Spear Lily, is a bold evergreen perennial forming a dramatic rosette of long, arching, sword-like foliage. Valued primarily for its striking architectural form, it makes an outstanding feature plant in large gardens and landscape settings.

Mature plants produce impressive spires of orange-red flowers in summer, rising well above the foliage and attracting attention from a distance. Performs best in a sunny, sheltered position with rich, free-draining soil. Allow ample space to develop and protect from heavy frost when young. Evergreen.
