Description Flowering Season: Summer Height: 6m (18ft) This striking New Zealand native is moderately frost hardy, occurring in some of that country’s southernmost areas. The seedlings, with very narrow, arching leaves, are sold as indoor plants and last for years in this juvenile state. Planted outdoors they begin to form a trunk and the brownish green leaves can be almost 1m (3 ft) long and 5cm (2 in) wide. The first large panicle of small white sweet-scented flowers, opening in summer, terminates the stem at a height of 1.8–2.5 m (6–8 ft); the stem then branches into several leaf rosettes, each in time flowering and branching again. It is the largest species, frequently reaching over 6 m (20 ft) tall with a stout trunk. ‘Purpurea’ has bronze purplish leaves. ‘Albertii’, has striped pink and cream leaves, more pinkish on new growths, and is less vigorous. 'Green Goddess', bright green leaves.
