Bulbine semibarbata, commonly known as Leek Lily, is a perennial herb that exhibits succulent-like characteristics, native to grasslands and open woodlands across Australia, including arid inland areas and coastal regions. It typically grows to a height of 0.9 feet (0.3 meters) and can spread 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 meters) wide. The plant forms clumps of narrow, fleshy leaves and produces tall flower spikes bearing star-shaped yellow flowers during the spring and summer months. The flowers are modest in size but can be quite showy en masse.

Leek Lily is valued for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in tough conditions, making it a suitable choice for water-wise gardens and xeriscaping. It is often used as a ground cover or border plant in rockeries and native plant gardens. Bulbine semibarbata prefers full sun to part shade and requires well-drained soil to prevent root rot. While generally low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to snail and slug damage. This species is not known for aggressive roots or significant disease problems. It is also not typically invasive when grown outside its native range, but as with all non-native plantings, gardeners should monitor and manage growth as necessary.CC BY-SA 4.0
