Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From a beautiful genus -- akin to a red agapanthus -- springing forth with leaves emerging in late spring and dangly flowers, usually orange, but dazzlingly golden yellow in this form. To 12-18" for bright conditions and well drained but summer damp soil. As its high, Drakensburg Mtn., South Africa, habitat suggests, hardy to between 0 and 10F, USDA zone 7, if well mulched. Stunning pot specimen.
