Astelia Silver Spear (syn. A 'Silver Spear')
Clump-forming plant with elegant silvery spear-shaped leaves. In mid- to late spring long stalks of pale yellowish green flowers are produced from female plants and are often followed by orange berries in the summer. A lovely plant that makes a dramatic feature in most gardens and looks particularly good when plant with purple-leaved plants, such as Phormium 'Platt's Black'. In cold winters in exposed areas this plant will need some protection as it is not fully hardy.Position: full sun or partial shadeSoil: moist, fertile, peaty soilRate of growth: average Flowering period: April to May Flower colour: pale yellowish greenOther features: arching, silvery spear-shaped leavesHardiness: half hardyGarden care: Provide protection during cold winters and divide plants, if necessary, in April to May |
