Arthropodium ‘Te Puna’ Arthropodium cirratum ‘Te Puna’ Height: 40cm Spread: 50cm PART SHADE FULL SHADE DRY CONTAINER ATTRACTIVE GROUND EDGING TOLERANT FOLIAGE COVER FEATURES: •Very hardy and water wise with lush, evergreen foliage. •Dwarf form of a popular landscaping plant. •Suited to difficult dry and/or shady areas. •Billowy white floral stems from spring to summer. SUGGESTED USES: •Mass plant for low maintenance areas. •Adds textural contrast and permanent structure to mixed flower or shrub borders. •Containers, small or narrow spaces. •Edging for paths, drives or retaining walls. •Provides a lush effect around water features and poolside landscaping. •Suitable for coastal regions. CULTURAL CARE Very dry tolerant once established. Low maintenance with no pruning generally required other than to tidy. Feed in spring with a general fertiliser. Removing flower stems as they fade will encourage more to develop. Protect from heavy frost. Mulching is advisable to further reduce long term maintenance. Commonly know as ‘New Zealand Rock Lily’ as it is endemic to this country. It grows - as it’s name suggests - in rocky regions where growing conditions are often less than favourable. It is therefore an ideal solution for dry, shaded sites on slopes or beneath trees - infact most places that are a challenge may be overcome with this attractive and tough contender. Mass plant in difficult sites or create a bright habitat in low light areas using just green, silver and whites by pairing up with other shade loving ornamentals such as Brunnera ‘Jack Frost’, Iberis ‘Winter Glow’, Lamium ‘Snow and Frost’ and the beautiful Hellebore ‘Ivory Prince’..
