Beautiful and Reliable
By: Jodi on 4 November 2026This is my absolute favourite plant bought from Bamboo Land so far for our tropical garden (Cairns area). Although planted beneath a shady canopy, that area of the garden does get hot afternoon sun as it goes down, so I was a bit worried how it would go. It has been really resilient and did not stop flowering between July and October. It is such a standout amongst the other, mainly green or variegated, foliage in that area. It also arrived after the long journey in very good health. Grateful to Bamboo Land for the good care they give the plants.

A glorious addition to our Garden.
By: Ian and Mariette Butler on 9 October 2017We bought a single plant whilst on vacation in Hervey Bay in 2015 two years ago. Living on the NSW Central Coast we were dubious about whether the plant would survive. Survive it has and has clumped into a beautiful plant in the semi-shaded corner of our garden. Recently, for the first time, it is flowering and we now have a host of very wonderful and magical flowers. We have cut some and have them in a vase in our living room to provide a most striking arrangement. Be patient as they appear to be slow growing in this area of Australia but you'll be rewarded, as we have, with a most eye-catching and salient plant in your garden. If you should consider one of these lovely plants then we would highly recommend you do so. You won't be disappointed.
