(Doryanthes palmeri)
Doryanthes palmeri, commonly known as the Giant Spear Lily, is a dramatic Australian native perennial valued for its enormous flower spikes and bold foliage. Native to eastern Australia, this rare and spectacular plant produces massive spikes up to 5 metres tall, covered in clusters of large, tubular red flowers that attract birds, pollinators, and native wildlife.
The plant forms a large clump of sword-like leaves up to 3 metres long, giving it an impressive architectural presence even when not in flower. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil, though it tolerates a variety of conditions once established. Drought-tolerant and long-lived, it’s ideal for feature planting, native gardens, and landscaping projects.
A truly magnificent statement plant that delivers both ornamental impact and ecological value.
Doryanthes palmeri has traditional bush food uses. First Nations Peoples of Australia historically utilized multiple parts of this plant:
-
Flower spikes were roasted.
-
Roots were mashed and fashioned into cakes.
-
Leaves weren’t eaten but were woven into practical items like baskets.
| Seed Starting Method |
Doryanthes palmeri come in a range of sizes from very tiny to a few millimeters. As a general rule Doryanthes palmeri seed should be sown to the depth of the seed. Place the seed in a container and cover with boiled water and allow to soak overnight. The swollen seed can then be sown, re-treat seeds that have not swollen yet until you're satisfied that the pre-treatment has worked. Although most Australian native/ endemic seed can be sown throughout the seasons across Australia it is advisable to sow in Spring or Summer in colder regions. The optimum temperate to ensure the best possible germination rate for sowing many Australian native/ endemic species is around 18-22°C. |

| Growing tips |
Seeds of many native/endemic species require specific conditions that mimic their natural habitat or specially formulated seed treatments, to break dormancy. Do not be to quick to discard pots that haven't yet shown signs of seed germination. Seeds will often lay dormant until conditions are optimal and will produce amazing results, long after they have been forgotten. Pre-treatment of smoke is recommended for most native species.
