Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Doryanthes excelsa, commonly known as the Gymea Lily, is an impressive Australian native known for its striking, tall flower spike and large, sword-like leaves. This evergreen plant can reach up to 6 M in height when flowering, making it a stunning feature in gardens or as a focal point in large landscapes. The Gymea Lily produces a dramatic cluster of deep red flowers atop a tall spike during Kambarang (late spring) and Birak (early summer), attracting birds and adding vibrant colour to the garden.

Gymea Lily is well-suited to outdoor garden beds in Perth and thrives in full sun with well-drained soil. It has moderate water requirements, needing extra water during its flowering season but tolerating dry conditions once established. To care for Doryanthes excelsa, apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in early spring and keep the soil lightly moist during warmer months. This hardy native is ideal for low-maintenance gardens and creates a bold, structural effect.
