Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A South African bulb that is extremely tolerant of Summer drought. Large, 10cm across, trifoliate, clover-like, slightly glaucous leaves hug the ground on slender, red stems. Pure white, yellow throated, 3cm wide, trumpet shaped flowers are borne profusely from Autumn rain until late Spring. Does spread but not too rampant. Great for road verges, perhaps with blue and purple Babiana.
