Arthropodium cirratum ‘Matapouri Bay’ – Available in 140mm and 200mm Pots
If you are looking for a soft, low-maintenance plant that works beautifully in modern gardens, shaded areas, borders, underplanting and coastal-style landscapes, Arthropodium cirratum ‘Matapouri Bay’ is a great choice.
Also known as New Zealand Rock Lily, this attractive plant is loved for its lush strappy green foliage, soft clumping habit and delicate white flowers that appear above the leaves during the warmer months. It gives gardens a clean, natural look without needing heavy maintenance.
We currently have Arthropodium cirratum ‘Matapouri Bay’ available in both 140mm and 200mm pots, giving you options for smaller garden projects, mass planting, borders, pots and more advanced planting areas.
Why Choose Arthropodium ‘Matapouri Bay’?
One of the biggest advantages of Arthropodium ‘Matapouri Bay’ is how versatile it is. It can be used in garden beds, mass plantings, shaded borders, around pathways, under trees, in pots, or as a soft filler plant between larger shrubs.
Its bright green foliage helps add freshness to darker areas of the garden, making it perfect for spots that need a softer, greener finish.
Available Sizes
140mm Pots:
A great choice for mass planting, borders, underplanting and larger garden areas where you want to cover more space at a better price.
200mm Pots:
A larger, more established option for customers wanting a fuller plant with a stronger instant look in pots, garden beds and feature areas.
Great for Shaded and Part-Shade Areas
Many gardens have areas where full sun plants struggle. Arthropodium ‘Matapouri Bay’ performs best in part shade to filtered light, making it ideal for courtyards, side pathways, under established trees, or along fence lines where sunlight is limited.
It can tolerate some morning sun, but in Sydney’s hotter conditions, protection from harsh afternoon sun will help keep the foliage looking its best.
Perfect for Mass Planting
For a simple, elegant garden look, Arthropodium ‘Matapouri Bay’ looks fantastic when planted in groups. Its clumping growth habit creates a soft, flowing effect, making it ideal for modern landscapes, tropical-style gardens, coastal gardens and low-maintenance planting designs.
Planting several together can quickly create a lush green border or underplanting area that looks full and established.
