How to identify this plant?

Hi,

Can anyone help me with to identify this plant?

It's a little hard to identify strappy-leaved plants as they could be any number of similar-looking plants. Do they flower at all? They could be a type of Cordyline, Dietis (African Iris/Lilly), but you probably couldn't even rule out things like Kangaroo paw.

If it has a flower like the one below, it's a variety of Dietis.

Let me mention a couple of our gardening experts, @Noelle and @mich1972.

Hi @davidc12

It looks a little like Lomandra longifolia, an Australian grass that is widely used as a landscape plant. However, as Mitchell has said, it is rather difficult to be positive without seeing a flower or seed head.

Hi, yes. That is the flower. So which one should I order from your website?

Hi @davidc12,

Unfortunately, as our plant suppliers are very region specific and the plants that are available can change from week to week, it is not possible to order plants through our website.

I'd suggest giving your local store a call and asking if they have any Dietes grandiflora in stock as that is the species in the image @MitchellMc has uploaded.

If they do not have any, their Horticulture Expert should be able to make some enquiries with the local nurseries to see when they will become available.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
