Can you buy Manfreda maculosa (spice lily/texas tuberose) from Bunnings?

[Janita]

Hi, I'm looking to add a Manfreda maculosa (spice lily/texas tuberose) to my plant collection but I'm having difficulty finding it. Is this something I can order through Bunnings? I know Mangave are becoming quite popular but I'm specifically interested in the Manfreda.

Cheers, Janita

Hi @Janita,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you join us.

Unfortunately, I've been unable to locate any of these specific plants within our regular range. This is not saying it is not possible, they are just not ranged in stores.

It's possible they could be ordered, but it is very region specific as to what's available. For example, what is available in Brisbane where I am, may not be available in Hobart or Perth as they will have different suppliers and different climates

My suggestion would be to contact your local store and ask to speak to their Horticultural Expert. They will have local contacts that they could make enquiries with for this specific plant. 

Let me know if you have any further questions.
