Evergreen Climbing Plants For Shade
Arthropodium cirratum (Rengarenga Lily / New Zealand Rock Lily) – Elegant Groundcover for Shaded and Coastal Gardens
Arthropodium cirratum, commonly known as Rengarenga Lily or New Zealand Rock Lily, is a clump-forming, evergreen perennial native to New Zealand. It features lush, arching, dark green foliage and produces masses of starry white flowers on wispy stems during spring and summer. Growing up to 75 cm in height and spread, this plant is ideal for mass planting as a groundcover, in borders, or around outdoor living areas. It thrives in partial shade but can also tolerate full sun, making it versatile for various garden styles, including coastal, cottage, and native gardens. Its low maintenance and drought tolerance once established make it a popular choice among landscape designers in New Zealand.
