The South African Citrus Bulb Collection features a gorgeous array of flowers native to sunny South Africa. Warm golden Starfish Iris (Ferreria crispa) and grapefruit Charming Beauty Hardy Gladiolus bloom in late summer. They’re followed by a carpet of colorful pinks and red from Harlequin Flowers (Sparaxis) from early to mid-summer. Purple Pineapple Lilies (Eucomis Reuben) pop from mid to late summer, and fragrant Pink Spider Lilies (Nerine bowdenii) are on display from late summer through frost. Spider Lilies are long-lived, and take a couple of years to establish and bloom. This tropical collection is generally hardy in zones 9 and 10. If these bulbs are not hardy in your zone, you can grow them as annuals, grow them in containers that can be brought indoors for cold seasons, or dig up bulbs before frost to store in a cool dry place for planting the following spring. Be sure to follow the appropriate planting depth for each unique bulb. Collection of 65 bulbs.
