Doryanthes excelsa
Doryanthes excelsa, the Gymea Lily, is a bold Australian native producing enormous sword-shaped leaves and a spectacular flower spike reaching 3–5m in height. A commanding architectural plant and native wildlife resource.
Specifier notes. Selected on architectural projects for its strong line and disciplined form. Holds its own as a standalone feature where form and presence matter more than mass.
Site & establishment. Bold visual presence — best used where it has space to be seen.
How we supply it. Australian native — useful where Australian native specification is mandated by brief or council. Provides nectar, fruit, or shelter that supports local wildlife outcomes.
Cape Nursery production. All Cape Nursery stock is grown 7 km from the Pacific Ocean, hardened to coastal sun and wind from propagation rather than acclimatised at point of sale. Specimens leave us biosecurity-traceable, and root-checked. National delivery is available; collection from Ewingsdale is welcomed Mon–Thu 7:30am–4pm.
