Sea Green Lachenalia

Spectacular flowers in that wonderful, and rare turquoise shade. The colour seems to almost glow. The good news is, they are just as easy to grow as the common forms. Numbers are limited so get them while you can!

The mid green leaves have leopard spot shadows all over, as do the stems.

Lachenalia look good planted at the front of beds and borders, in rockeries, along pathways or in pots.

Plant into well drained soil in a sunny position. They will tolerate some shade but flower better in sun. Plant 2-5cm deep and space 5-10cm apart. Water in then keep just moist in growth. Add a little fertiliser when they begin to bloom and that is about all you will need to do. They are easy care bulbs that can be left in the ground to naturalise.

Try combining the early flowering Lachenalia with other early spring bulbs such Grape Hyacinths, they also grow well with early Daffodils or Spring star flowers.
