Babiana rubrocyanea
Iridaceae
Description
Babiana rubrocyanea is a charming cormous perennial, prized for its vibrant, funnel-shaped flowers in striking shades of red and blue. The plant has pleated leaves that emerge from a corm, adding a unique texture to the garden. It's a spring-blooming plant, adding a burst of color to the landscape. Babiana rubrocyanea thrives in well-draining soil and full sun, making it a great choice for sunny beds and borders. It's relatively low-maintenance, but it's essential to protect the corms from excessive moisture during dormancy. Propagation is typically done through corm division or from seeds. Make sure to plant this one in the sun and it should do just fine!
