Astelia 'Silver Spear' is a striking New Zealand native renowned for its bold silver-grey foliage and architectural form. Growing to approximately 2m high and 2m wide, it forms a large clump of arching, sword-shaped leaves that create a dramatic focal point in both contemporary and naturalistic landscapes.

Its shimmering foliage provides year-round interest, while clusters of bright orange berries in autumn add seasonal colour and visual appeal. The plant's strong form and distinctive colouring make it an excellent specimen plant for feature gardens, coastal landscapes, and large planting schemes.

Astelia 'Silver Spear' thrives in moist, well-drained soils and performs well in full sun, part shade, or shade. It is highly adaptable and suitable for coastal, exposed, moderately exposed, and sheltered locations, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of garden environments.
