Originating from east-Asia, this stunning plant produces fans of iris-like foliage with petite, star-shaped orange & crimson freckled flowers.
While it performs beautifully in the garden as a water-wise and heat-hardy border feature, its compact roots also make it a gorgeous choice for outdoor pots and sunny patios.
Cultivation & Care
- Growth style: A clump-forming, rhizomatous perennial growing approx. 60 cm tall. It spreads gently through underground rhizomes and self-seeding.
- Light: Requires full sun to partial shade. It performs best in open, sunny positions to ensure maximum floral displays.
- Water: Low to moderate water requirements. It is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it exceptionally well-suited for water-wise gardening across South Africa.
- Soil: Must be grown in well-draining soil. It thrives in sandy, loamy, or gravelly mixes.
- Humidity/Temperature: Highly tolerant of hot, dry South African summers but equally resilient against winter frosts. It will naturally die back during freezing Highveld winters and reliably shoot up again in spring.
- Plant Size: This listing is for a single, well established live specimen of approx. 25cm-40cm. (2l grow bag equivalent)
