Habranthus ruber

Habranthus ruber

CHF95.00Price

This is an extremely rare plant that took me almost 20 years to lay my hands on. Almost unique in the bulb world for its tomato-red flowers for which it is highly esteemed by bulb collectors, as this color is very rarely seen in other bulb genera for that matter. It definitely is a sight to behold when it blooms in any bulb collection between June-October.

 

Just like most habranthus it tends to bloom after sudden rains coming after a period of dryness. Please be aware that in view of its Brazilian habitat of Rio Grande do Sul, this is a tender bulb and must be kept frost-free in winter in colder areas. It seems to remain evergreen in winter even with minimal watering however.
