    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A very fun South African bulb which can be overwintered outside given good drainage in the winter and a nice mulching to keep it snuggy and warm. Or perfectly easy to grow in a pot and then store in the garage. Lots of yellow and green starry flowers - easy from seed!

    Broad leaves mix well with the yellow and green flowers on 20" tall stems. Good container specimen.
