Transcript
Gloriosa lily (Non Restricted Invasive Weed) Gloriosa superba Gloriosa lily is an aggressive and persistent invader of coastal sand dunes and associated bushland areas. It smothers and excludes native plants, eventually dominating the area. It is also highly poisonous. Gloriosa lily is an invasive plant which can disrupt native flora communities and ecosystems. Description Growing from underground tubers, the plant develops scrambling stems. The glossy green leaves have a tendril at their tip, which assists the plant to climb over others. In summer, it produces vibrant red and yellow flowers. The flowers and leaf growth die back in winter, reappearing again next spring. Management The most effective management option is to prevent it from being introduced. Do not plant this weed as a garden specimen. Do not dump cuttings into bushland or dunal areas. Small numbers of plants can be dug up. Care must be taken to dig deeply and remove all the tubers. If you would like further information on weeds look at the A–Z Listing of Weeds at Queensland Government Website.
