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;
critter resistant; 1-3
