Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From South Africa, these bulbs are winter growing, producing their flower buds in autumn, followed by strap-like leaves that continue through winter. Flowers are, yes indeed, silver pink, appearing just when color is a bonus. Best in full sun with very good drainage and little summer water. Plant with bulb necks slightly above ground. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8 but may lose leaves in the upper teens °F. Add mulch for winter protection.
