Arthropodium cirratum, renga renga, renga lily or rock lily is endemic to the North, South and Three Kings Islands. It grows on Three Kings Island and around the coast of and the North Island, and in the South Island from Whanganui Inlet on the west coast and Golden Bay to the Marlborough Sounds, and to a little south of Kaikoura on the east coast. It usually grows on rock or clay banks around the shore or near the sea, and is sometimes found as an understory plant in open coastal forest. Although it can be locally abundant, it is can often be abscent for long stretches of the coastline where it would be expected to grow. Arthropdium cirratum is one of New Zealand's finest herbaceous plants and has a very showy flower, making it quite a useful garden plant. Single specimums can look great, but mass plantings make a good feature, and it can be used as ground-cover. It will grow in various situations from sunny areas to shade, on dry banks and under trees. It can be a little tender to heavier frosts and can be prone to attack from snails and slugs, but don't let this stop you from planting it, as it is a fabulous addition to any garden.
