| Cultural notes |
prefers moist soil in summer |
Bulbous perennial from South Africa, produces fragrant yellow flowers, with a maroon splotch. It prefers to grow near water, with wet feet during its season of growth. Long floppy leaves.
My two attempts to establish them in Pennsylvania yielded seedlings, but no survivors remained by the following season. So I'm giving them another try, this time in Texas.
