Brunsvigia littoralis
Amaryllidaceae
Description
Brunsvigia littoralis is a striking bulbous plant native to South Africa, known for its large, showy inflorescences. It produces striking umbels of bright red or pink flowers that appear on tall stems. Its leaves are large, broad, and often lie flat on the ground. This plant thrives in well-draining soil and a sunny location. It requires a dry dormancy period during the summer months and water during its growing season in the winter. Propagation is best done through seed or offsets. Avoid overwatering, especially during dormancy, to prevent bulb rot.
