    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Our collection years ago from the eastern Drakensburgs of South Africa growing in the grasses with many other scrumptious plants at about 9,000 ft. Opposite leaves covered with fine hairs emerge from a bulb that can reach 6" or more. White, rounded flowers appear in spring and summer. Bright light and at least some summer water is a must for happy plants. The bulbs alone are attractive enough that they are often lifted in pots to be grown almost as bonsai. Strangely, we have not planted any of ours outside, though their collection location suggests frost hardiness to at least upper USDA zone 8. Excellent pot specimen.
