It grows naturally in swamp margins, creek banks and behind coastal dunes from New South Wales to the Northern Territory, so it handles conditions that kill most feature plants: standing water, salt spray and sand. The white spidery flowers are strongly scented at night and appear through the warmer months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy Swamp Lily\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWet tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: One of the few bold-foliage natives that thrives in soil that stays wet or floods periodically.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoastal hardiness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Salt-laden wind and pure sand are its natural growing conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage mass\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wide, bright green strap leaves give a tropical look without needing tropical care.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNight fragrance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spidery white flowers release scent after dusk through spring and summer.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToughness\u003c\/strong\u003e: Once established it survives neglect, drought and heat as well as wet.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIdeal Applications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRain gardens and swales\u003c\/strong\u003e: Handles the alternating wet and dry cycle of a bioretention bed.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePond and water feature edges\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sits happily right at the waterline where drainage is poor.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoastal mass planting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Used in drifts on foreshore reserves and beachside gardens.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSub-tropical style borders\u003c\/strong\u003e: Provides bold leaf form under palms and frangipani.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecimen \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (screening\/hedge):\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 to 1m for a continuous mass\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing (feature\/avenue):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 to 2m\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest Planting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring and summer, when soil is warm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Drainage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adaptable from sand to clay and tolerant of poor drainage, though it also grows well in ordinary garden soil.
