Astelia ‘Solandri’ is a striking evergreen perennial native to New Zealand’s forests. It features long, arching, sword-shaped leaves in silvery-green tones that add a bold, tropical feel to shaded or woodland gardens. This clump-forming plant thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers part to full shade, making it ideal for under planting or as a foliage contrast in darker garden corners. While not as commonly cultivated as some other Astelia species, A. ‘Solandri’ is valued for its unique texture and adaptability in temperate climates.
