Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Beautiful & tough like most members of the Watsonia family, this South African native bulb bears striking stalks of arching, goblet shaped, peachy blooms. 4-5’ tall, it comes into bloom May thru July. Carefree & not fussy about fertilizing, it does need well-drained soil. An excellent cut flower.
