Flowering bulb perennial (0.4m x 0.3m) from South Africa. Strap-like leaves emerge after flowering in spring and dye off in summer. Terminal clusters of rose pink, white and red spider-like flowers with wavy edges in autumn. Useful for its colour in autumn, mass planted in clumps or containers. Prefers well drained soil in a protected position, either in full sun or part shade. Too much shade will limit flowering. Requires adequate moisture in the growing season. Avoid watering in dormancy and disturbing clumps until overcrowded. Plant in summer when bulbs are dormant.
