"Inky purple blooms with a glowing
red center make this perhaps the most striking of the “Baboon Flowers”
for the garden & this species is no slouch in terms of toughness
either. Clay, drought, poor soil, deer – it takes all comers. Just
watch out for those pesky baboons. Babianas like a dry Summer rest, but
we’ve discovered that they can take some Summer water just
fine. Where hardy, you’ll find that this species will increase every
year, gently but steadily - profusely enough to share, but not so much
as to ever be unwelcome. A fine bulb! Grows to 1’ high & is in
flower from around mid-March to early-mid April. Summer deciduous &
returns with the Winter rains. From South Africa.
