Family: Xanthorrhoeaceae
High Risk Traits:
- The wild type is a potential weed (Listed as a Quarantine Weed under Western Australias state-wide quarantine system which means they are prohibited from entering the state)
- Related Bulbine species regarded as weeds
- Tolerates many soil types
- Spreads vegetatively
- Starts to spread vegetatively after 1 year
- A geophyte (may persist in soil if above ground vegetation is removed)
- Limited biological and ecological information outside native range makes accurate risk predication difficult
Low Risk Traits:
- No reports of naturalization or invasiveness reported to date
- The cultivar 'Hallmark' is self-sterile, so seedlings are unlikely to be produced
- Medicinal and ornamental uses
