Description
Lachenalia purpureo-caerulea, a striking bulbous plant, offers a unique display of color and form in late winter to early spring. This species features striking, pendulous flowers that range in shades of purple, blue, and green, creating an unusual visual experience. Its leaves are often mottled with purple or brown. It requires well-drained soil and partial shade to thrive. The plant has a relatively short blooming period, so planting multiple bulbs will enhance the experience.
