    Not one I've planted but must be fairly hardy because it's planted in very little soil down a narrow strip next to the fence.

      Could it be Schizostylis? :)

        I agree it looks like a Schizostylis. Although I believe they have been renamed and are now called Hesperantha.

        Thanks both :blue thumb:

        I think I'll go with 'Hesperantha' because the alternative is too hard to spell or pronounce :snork:

          They used to be called kaffir lilies but I believe that is now politically incorrect.
