Poor Knights Lily, Xeronema callistemon

Confined to the Poor Knights and Hen and Chicken Islands. This is a stunning plant when in flower that is often grown in pots as it needs extremely free draining soil.

Everyone should have one of these as you will keep it for your life time and be rewarded for your patience when it flowers.

It can be used in the garden in rockeries. 

It is recommended to prevent and treat phytophthora root rot with a phosphorous acid based fungicide.
