Looking for a unique and meaningful addition to your garden? Consider the Arthropodium cirratum, also known as the rengarenga, renga lily, New Zealand rock lily, or maikaika. Endemic to New Zealand, this herbaceous perennial plant has both medicinal and culinary uses and holds great symbolic importance in traditional Māori culture. The plant boasts long, wide leaves, and a towering flower stalk that can reach up to 3 ft and bear many white six-petalled flowers, each about 2 cm in size. The stamens are a beautiful tricolor of purple and white, with yellow at the curled end. As the name suggests, it's often found on rocks near the sea. Rengarenga is frequently grown as an ornamental, and its roots are edible and can be harvested all year long. It's easy to see why this plant was cultivated by the Māori; it grows much larger under cultivation than in the wild. Add this unique and significant plant to your collection today!
