Sparaxis

("Harlequin flower / Wand flower")

Origins:

The Cape province of South Africa.

Planting Tips:

Plant in fairly large groups in late Spring in a sandy well-drained soil in a sheltered location. Water well during the growing season. Note: in very mild climates where you can leave them in the ground you will notice that these plants will revert to their normal Fall growth cycle and will bloom in early Spring in the following years.
