Not a New Zealand Flax, nope this character grows in SE Queensland and Northern New South Wales - must be difficult during Sate of Origin (Google will explain). The large red flowers perch atop a 8 to 10 foot flower stalk, enticing pollinators from near and far. Give it some room to stretch out to reach its full potential.
