  • Description

  • Notes

This South African native has bold, strap-like leaves in clumps 2"-3" wide from fall into spring. It's dormant in late spring and summer, and in August, clusters of trumpet-shaped, rosy/pink white flowers blossom on top of bare stalks that are 3' high. It is long lived and drought tolerant.
