Romulea hirsuta
Iridaceae
Description
Romulea hirsuta is a delicate and charming cormous plant appreciated for its dainty flowers and fine, grass-like foliage. This plant features slender, grassy leaves that create a subtle base for its blooms. The flowers are the main attraction, appearing in various shades of pink, purple, or white, often with contrasting markings or veining. It typically blooms in late winter or early spring, adding a touch of color to the landscape. Romulea hirsuta thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it relatively easy to incorporate into rock gardens or containers. To encourage flowering, provide plenty of sunlight and allow the soil to dry out between waterings. It is drought-tolerant once established.
