OTHER COMPANIONS AND USES: ECHINACEA; PHLOX; MALVA;
TROPICAL OR EVENING GARDEN; MIXED BORDER
Well known as a graceful cut flower especially
in elegant, large flower arrangements, what
may not be known about this plant is its adaptability.
We have grown them successfully in a flower
border along with other bulbs and perennials, but
the aethiopica types also grow happily at water‛s
edge or even potted up and submerged - pot and all
- in the shallow end of our pond. Native to South
Africa, its graceful, vase-like flowers bloom from
mid through late summer; 1-3 per sq. ft.; 12”-18”
and zones 8-10 except where noted; mid summer
bloomer; 14+cm bulbs.
