This captivating bulbous perennial enchants with its large, butterfly-shaped flowers showcasing bold red petals streaked with delicate white, evoking exotic elegance and visual drama. Blooming from late summer to autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, it offers a stunning spectacle that instantly brightens any space.
Growing to a graceful height of 40–60 cm with a spread of around 30–40 cm, this plant thrives in full sun to part shade and is equally striking as a container specimen or in a sheltered garden spot. The flowers emerge atop sturdy, leafless stems, creating a vivid display that contrasts beautifully with glossy green foliage.
Ideal for gardeners seeking a splash of tropical charm, this variety prefers well-drained soil and moderate watering during its growing season, followed by a drier rest period. Its relatively compact size makes it perfect for patios, verandas, or indoors with bright light.
Whether adding exotic interest to your garden or serving as a dramatic indoor bloom, this plant’s delicate patterns and vibrant colours inspire wonder and admiration season after season.
