Lachenalia viridiflora
Turquoise Hyacinth
Description
Lachenalia viridiflora is a distinctive bulbous plant native to South Africa. It is known for its unique green flowers, a rarity in the world of flowering plants. The flowers are bell-shaped and appear in clusters, providing a delicate and elegant display. The plant has long, strap-like leaves that add a textural element. Lachenalia viridiflora blooms in the winter and spring, making it a valuable addition to gardens during the cooler months. The plant prefers well-draining soil and partial shade, though it can tolerate full sun in cooler climates. Avoid overwatering, as the bulbs are prone to rot. Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering to provide nutrients for the next season.
