Boophane haemanthoides is an eye-catching plant for a large pot but also adds a handsome touch when planted in bold groups in rock garden pockets. Note that the bulbs are extremely sensitive to excess moisture during the winter growing season and need a dry summer period when they are dormant. These plants thrive in high light intensity, requiring full sun for most of the day. When displayed in a pot, it performs well on a sunny patio. Grow the bulbs in a sandy, well-drained soil mixture. When planting B. haemanthoides bulbs, make sure that at least two thirds of the bulb is above ground level. Water the plant well once in late autumn, and wait for the leaves to appear. After that, water once per month. As soon as the leaves start to turn yellow in late spring, stop watering and keep the bulbs as dry as possible in summer.

Please Note: Plant will ship bare root with little to no dirt, and you will receive a plant similar to the one in the photo.
