Description

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. Reseeds on dry hillsides.

Water Saving Tip:

Eliminate runoff, especially with fixed spray sprinklers, clay soils, and slopes, by dividing the total watering time into shorter increments.
This allows water to soak in.
