Description
Ledebouria hypoxidioides, sometimes called the Cape Hyacinth, is a small, bulbous plant native to South Africa. It's known for its attractive, mottled leaves, typically featuring spots of silver or purple on a green background. The plant produces delicate, bell-shaped flowers, usually in shades of pink or green, on short stalks. It's a relatively compact plant, making it suitable for growing in pots or as part of a rock garden. Ledebouria hypoxidioides is a low-maintenance plant, thriving in partial shade and well-draining soil. Allowing the soil to dry out between waterings is crucial. Propagation is generally easy through division of the bulbs.
