About This Plant
Sun/part shade; a small evergreen, with aloe-like leaves. Delicate, orange and yellow bloom stalks appear from spring through frost. Easily cultivated, bulbine is great for cursed, scorched corners of the yard where nothing else seems to grow. It’s often employed as a bedding plant where carefree color or texture is needed.
Maintenance
Occasional supplemental water in summer only. Needs no other care. Tips may be burned by frost.
