Dilatris pillansii
Dilatris
Description
Dilatris pillansii is a South African bulbous perennial, prized for its striking flowers and unique foliage. It features strap-like leaves and produces tall spikes of vibrant, star-shaped flowers in shades of pink or purple. The blooms often appear in late spring or early summer, adding color to the garden. Dilatris pillansii thrives in well-drained soil and requires full sun to partial shade. Water thoroughly during the growing season, but allow the soil to dry out during the dormant period. These plants do well in areas with high temperatures. Plant bulbs in autumn. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally before removing it. It's a relatively low-maintenance plant that adds an exotic touch to borders or rock gardens. Dilatris pillansii also makes a great cut flower.
