Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Big pink flowers of substance on this densely clumping South African bulb. Hardy outside here given good drainage in winter (and mulch if a bad winter) and a choice candidate for the rock garden provided it gets ample water when in growth. Easy to grow in pots and overwinter in the garage.

By: Far Reaches Farm

Prized, South African perennials for the well-drained rock garden or for containers, with small clumps of slightly hairy, grassy leaves that appear in late spring, quickly followed by simple, six-petalled flowers -- red and abundant in this cultivar -- on individual 3-4" stems. Full sun with occasional summer water and well-drained soil to protect from winter wet or life in a container that can be moved to a dry location. Frost hardy to at least 0 °F, USDA zone 7.
