Lachenalia is a broad genus of showy small to medium sized
bulbous plants native in South Africa and Nambia. Most species
make broad, basal, sometimes spotted leaves and short
inflorescences with tubular flowers in shades of white, pale
green, yellow, orange, red to dark violet. All species are
easily grown in any rich, well drained soil in full sun
throughout the year. During dormany keep plants rather dry and
in winter at a minimum of some 10°C. Excellent in a frostfree
greenhouse or wintergarten, for their size they can be grown in
rather small pots on window sills as well. Sow seeds flat in any
well drained substrate in full sun at some 20°C throughout the
year. 20 seeds per package.
