Description
This is widespread in damper areas of its native South Africa and this is reflected by its ease of growth and tolerance of water when grown in the Northern hemisphere also.
It makes large, beautifully shaped flowers in shades of soft sulphur yellow, with a faint green tinge, reliably and freely. These are especially good for their light scent in the evening, especially if potted and kept under glass, though it is hardy outside with no problems here in full sun in a humus-enriched soil.
This is wintergreen and grows from late autumn onwards, flowering is in spring, dormancy is in summer when the plant likes to be dry.
