100% Peat-free All our plants are propagated and grown on peat-free, from scratch, on our nursery.

Stunning pinky orange flowers on robust stems to 1.2m in late spring to summer on this hardy bulb. Winter green if sheltered. Drained soil in full sun. Also good in pots under cover.

One of the more easily grown Watsonia for garden use where it will mix really well with late summer grasses and other southern African bulbs and perennials like Agapanthus, Eucomis and Crocosmia.  If you have a drained but not excessively dry soil in a sunny sheltered place you can grow your own African meadow!

We keep mother stock in large pots just frost free under cover where it comes into growth in autumn, remaining green all winter and flowering late spring to early summer before going dormant in late summer.

The species from the western cape of South Africa.
