Description
Large, wide-open trumpet flowers in an umbel in the manner of a Nerine. The flower colour is a gorgeous, orange-red. This really is an extremely beautiful, virtually evergreen, plant with just a short winter dormant season.
Enjoys light shade, very sharp drainage and not too much water when temperatures are low. Discovered only in the last 30 years or so growing on cliffs in the interior of Cape Province but responding well to cultivation. This remains rare in the wild however it is perfectly growable. Ours is the true species and not the hybrid with Cyrtanthus elatus.
