Bulbine bulbosa (Golden Lily)
Bulbine bulbosa, commonly known as Golden Lily, is a perennial herb native to the Melbourne Sandbelt region. Typically growing to heights of 0.3-0.6 meters (1-2 feet), it features long, narrow, green leaves that form a rosette at the base.
In spring and summer, this plant produces striking yellow flowers on tall spikes, which can reach up to 1 meter (3 feet) in height.
Bulbine bulbosa thrives in well-drained soils and is tolerant of drought, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens. The flowers attract various pollinators, including bees and butterflies, contributing to the local ecosystem. With its vibrant blooms and easy-care nature, Golden Lily is ideal for adding a splash of color to native gardens and naturalized areas.
