Poor Knights Lily (Xeronema callistemon)

The Poor Knights lily is a star performer, though its red, brush-like flowers require patience.

Once mature, the blooms are worth the wait.

These striking plants love warm, dry, and sunny spots, making them perfect for pots on north- or west-facing decks.

Keeping them root-bound enhances flowering, so don’t rush to repot.

With its bold foliage and stunning blooms, this native is a conversation starter in any garden.
