Doryanthes excelsa, also known as the Gymea Lily or Flame Lily, is a spectacular Australian native plant admired for its dramatic, sword-like foliage and towering flower spike.

A true statement plant that delivers incredible height, texture, and colour—ideal for bold, low-maintenance landscape design.

| Growing tips |
Seeds of many native/endemic species require specific conditions that mimic their natural habitat or specially formulated seed treatments, to break dormancy. Do not be to quick to discard pots that haven't yet shown signs of seed germination. Seeds will often lay dormant until conditions are optimal and will produce amazing results, long after they have been forgotten. Pre-treatment of smoke is recommended for most native species.
